Lost Mixes Of MINISTRY’s “Everyday (Is Halloween)” Escape The Tomb!

For fans of gothic-industrial music, there’s no bigger Halloween anthem than Al Jourgensen’s ode to the weirdos and outcasts who “look so absurd…so obscene” because they’re “dressed like it’s Halloween.” Originally released in 1984, the single lingered in the underground slowly finding its audience among the goth community whose black fishnets, lacey bustiers and heavy eyeliner shocked and frightened mainstream society. Since that time, of course, both gothic music and fashion has been largely accepted influencing artists and designers the world over, and yet Jourgensen’s anthem continues to inspire trailblazers and freethinkers of all stripes to let their freak flag fly on not just Halloween but every day!

Today, unearthed from studio tapes, Cleopatra Records is proud to usher in two never before released mixes of Ministry’s electro-pop masterpiece. Entitled Everyday (Is Halloween – The Lost Mixes, this 4 track EP features extended and hypnotic versions of the title track, versions that foreshadow the industrial direction that Jourgensen was heading in. In addition, the EP includes an unreleased gem, the 10+ minute track “Playground,” as well as an instrumental mix of the rarity “I See Red!”
