Recorded live at Nottingham’s Rock City on March 17, 1986, Glad To Be Alive was originally issued as a limited edition 8-song bonus album with initial UK vinyl and cassette copies of Gene Loves Jezebel’s 1986 album, Discover.
The setlist captures Gene Loves Jezebel at a key midpoint, with primal goth drawn from 1983 debut Promise and 1985’s Immigrant interspersed with melodic songs from the then-forthcoming Discover (including breakthrough hit “Desire”).
Glad To Be Alive features the lineup of twins Michael and Jay Aston, James Stevenson, Peter Rizzo, and Marcus Gilvear.
Never-before-released on CD, Glad To Be Alive has been expanded to present the full 17-song concert.
