Marking the 40th anniversary of a 'sliding doors' moment in pop history, 'Kiss the Lips of Life' is released on CD in the UK for the first time, comprehensively expanded and mastered from the original archive tapes. Initially envisaged as a post-punk funk rock collective, Brilliant was formed by former Killing Joke bassist Youth in 1982. A few singles and a little over three years later, at the behest of their manager, Food Records supremo David Balfe, the band's shifting line-up was slimmed down to a trio consisting of striking vocalist June Montana, Youth and erstwhile Zodiac Mindwarp guitarist and keyboardist Jimi Cauty. Their A&R man, industry maverick Bill Drummond, sent them into the studio to rework their album with up-and-coming pop powerhouse Stock Aitken Waterman. This new deluxe edition features a multitude of bonus tracks, including all the released 12" mixes (many on CD for the first time), B-sides, alternative takes and the mythical 'Hold Each Other Tight', a SAW co-write which had been lined up as the third single in place of 'Somebody', but was omitted from the album at the eleventh hour. It also boasts a 20-page booklet with additional photos, new sleeve notes, lyrics and an illustrated discography
