Synopsis

Album Description

Died Pretty's magnificent 1986 debut LP: Free Dirt is one of the alltime classic Australian albums. It followed 3 excellent singles / EP's and signalled the arrival of what would become of our mostloved bands over their celebrated 18 year career. Collected here, for the first time, are Died Pretty's first five releases: the 'Out Of The Unknown' and 'Mirror Blues' singles, the Next To Nothing EP, the Free Dirt album and the 'Stoneage Cinderella' single. PLUS an additional 10 bonus tracks - including previously unreleased demos, a livetoair radio performance from 1986 and other live rarities. This deluxe 2CD version is packaged in an 8 panel digipak, with a 28 page booklet containing many previously unpublished photos. It has been digitally remastered from the original master tapes.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Quite incredible "debut" from legendaryu australian post-punk band Died Pretty. While the type of music they play goes wildly beyond the formulaic new wave or post-new wave that was all the rage it is also not too much in a garage vein. The playing is extraordinary and the CD remastering is great: the voice of the lead singer is simply superb and shows stunning variety. The guitar playing and drumming is also spectacular and comes out clearly. Since this is also partly a acollection with additional singles, the range of styles is extraordinary and does not distract. At the time they were considered huge in alternative rock circles in europe and it is strange that nothing greater became of them. Also apparently, while this record will blow you away, tehre is even greater stuff from later."
