Little Caesar ‘American Dream’ Remastered/Repackaged CD – 2022 – VIDEO


LITTLE CAESAR IS SET TO RELEASE THE REMASTERED/REPACKAGED ‘AMERICAN DREAM’ ON MARCH 11TH THROUGH DIRTY DEEDS/DEKO ENTERTAINMENT.

PURCHASE OPTIONS

Little Caesar are best remembered for their version of the soul music song “Chain of Fools,” a 1989 hit single from their self-titled debut album on DGC Records, a subsidiary of Geffen Records. John Kalodner did A&R work for the group, and Bob Rock (Metallica, Motley Crue, etc.) produced the album, which was released to positive reviews. On the strength of the singles “Chain of Fools” (a cover of the Aretha Franklin song) and “In Your Arms,” Little Caesar hit number 139 on the US Billboard 200 in 1990.

The band recently reissued their 2009 release Redemption, which had been remastered and repackaged for a limited “Deluxe Edition” featuring four live Redemption tracks. Due to the amazing response of that release, they are doing it again, this time with 2012’s American Dream, which has also been remastered and repackaged as a limited “Deluxe Edition” w/ four live American Dream bonus tracks, including “Dirty Water” and others.

Vocalist Ron Young:

We are really excited about the reissue of American Dream. It still stands up nicely over this last decade You get to hear the moments from when we created it, along with some corresponding live versions of the songs to capture its “in the moment” energy.”

Video for “Dirty Water”

This is the second of a series of reissues coming through the band’s new imprint label Dirty Deeds Records/Deko Entertainment. Next up will be 1998’s This Time It’s Different, set for release in late 2022.

There are limited edition bundles (while supplies last) for American Dream, which can be ordered @ this location.
