About Fleshtones Vs. Reality

Fleshtones vs. Reality is an album released on Emergo Records in 1987 by The Fleshtones. The album was recorded at the Record Plant in New York City in the fall of 1986 with the exception of two songs, "Return of the Leather Kings" and "Too Late To Run", which were recorded in May 1986 at Axis Sound Studio in Atlanta, Georgia. All songs were composed by band members with the exception of "Treat Her Like A Lady", a cover of the 1971 hit by the Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose. The back cover artwork (created and designed by Zaremba ) displays a large image of a person's right hand with about 20 mystical symbols (a triangle, a rectangle, the symbol for infinity, the Astrological symbols for Taurus, Virgo, the Sun, Moon, Jupiter, and Venus, and more) drawn on the palm of the hand in ink. Also highlighted in ink are the "life line" and "heart line"(from palm reading). Photos of the five band members appear where the five fingers should be, surrounded by handwriting identifying the band members and listing the instruments that they played on the album.  more »
