My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult - Early Singles Part 1

For this week's #WaxTraxFriday article we take a closer look at My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult's earliest Wax Trax! singles:

All three singles were big hits with fans and all are worth checking out/collecting. For collectors, the first single produced the usual American test pressing and a rare UK specific 12" vinyl. The second single also produced the usual American test pressing, a rare UK specific 12" vinyl and also an ultra-rare UK test pressing promo. Their third single produced the usual American test pressing and a rare European CD single. Although not super-rare the American CD single and cassette single are definitely worth picking up as they included 7 tracks! (Both were reissued by TVT/Wax Trax! in 1993.)

My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult - Kooler Than Jesus original US 7 track CD single
