CD Reviews

Double disc version has some rareties and oddities

"For big collectors of Dead or Alive, this disc is a must. It has some real hard to get stuff on CD, but it's not without surprise mixes, and problem mixes. From what I can determine these are some of the issues:





CD1

1) you spin me round (performance mix) (7:27) (good alternative to the US 12" mix)

2) My Heart Goes Bang (US wipe out 12") (6:00) (Unfortunately, it fades 15 seconds earlier than the actual 12"!!!!)

3) sex drive (6:36) (this is a different and longer mix than the Nukleopatra CD version)

4) what I want (5:50) (this is the 12" version-EDITED! 12" runs 6:14)

5) brand new lover (4:47)

6) misty circles (4:39) (Longer than the LP version, but not the 12")

7) love come back to me (4:57) (this might be the UK 12". It's not the US 12")

8) I'll save you all my kisses (3:36)

9) I don't wanna be your boyfriend (4:42)

10) hooked on love (5:15) (not the LP version, but an extended version)

11) I'm a star (4:35) (edit of LP version)

12) something in my house (the FRAGILE CD version, which is a modern remix)

13) isn't it a pity (the FRAGILE CD mix)

14) you spin me round (metro mix 7")



CD2

1) I'd Do Anything (5:23) (this is the full 12" version!!!)

2) come home with me baby (3:57)

3) that's the way I like it (3:06) (shorter mix than the original LP version)

4) international thing (3:44) (shorter than original LP version)

5) in too deep (3:50) (a different mix than the LP version)

6) unhappy birthday (7:31) (remix from the Nukleopatra CD)

7) I Paralyze (5:57) (FRAGILE CD version)

8) baby don't say goodbye (6:15) (slightly longer than the NUDE CD version)

9) turn around and count to ten (6:54) (slight remix of NUDE CD version)

10) your sweetness is your weakness (5:49) (LP version)

11) nukleopatra (4:18) (slightly different mix than LP version)

12) rebel rebel (4:03) (shorter than LP version)

13) hit & run lover (4:41) (FRAGILE CD version)

14) you spin me round (6:20) (mark moore & mr motion extended remix)"
Absolutely essential.

"Dead or Alive are incredible! I must admit, I was an avid fan (buying every 12" single back in the 80's...) but then, styles changed. I felt alienated by Pete's Hi-NRG wailing while I was enjoying lounge and down-tempo during the 90's. Nothing seemed as cool as Kruder and Dorfmeister.
But now, in 2003, Dead or Alive are both a blast from the past & a new revelation! What was I thinking - this music is so camp & dramatic...brilliant! After Evolution, I've quickly purchased all of Dead or Alive's back catalogue (I'd left off at Nude) and it's all fantastic!
This music is best listened to with a sense of humor and an appreciation for the history of dance music, from disco to euro to techno to now...
If you're even remotely considering the purchase of this compilation, don't hesitate - buy now! This will improve your music library & your life."
