Roman Gods (album)
Roman Gods is the first album by The Fleshtones. Trouser Press called it a "big leap forward" from the band's debut EP, Up-Front, noting that its adds "new personality and passion to the beat". The album was largely recorded at Skyline Studios in New York City in June 1981, with the exception of one track ("The World Has Changed"), which was recorded at RKO Studios in London in February 1981, and produced by Richard Mazda. The record sleeve was designed by lead singer Peter Zaremba. The song Shadow-line (to J. Conrad) was performed by The Fleshtones in the concert film Urgh! A Music War.
