Description:

PLAY DEAD release a career-spanning anthology, a CD digipak with sixteen of their most essential tracks (also as a ten-track limited-edition blue vinyl LP). Between 1980-1985 they grew into one of the UKâ??s leading post-punk bands with regular indie chart hits and a large loyal live following. They built up through exposure from three John Peel sessions, extensive gigging (with UK Decay, Sex Gang Children, Killing Joke, The Cult and more), subsequently headlining UK and EU tours in their own right and landing a live spot on the UKâ??s top music TV programme, The Tube. On various labels they issued a series of singles and three studio albums: The First Flower, From the Promised Land and Company of Justice, the latter produced by Conny Plank. This album is collected from all of those releases. -

An anthology selected by the band from all their 1982-85 catalogue, remastered. Sixteen tracks feature on this digipak CD version, originally recorded for Clay Records, Tanz, Situation 2 and Jungle Records. Features This Side of Heaven, The Tenant, and the Burning Down single version (produced by Conny Plank) heard for the first time since the 1980's. With unseen photos.

"The Collection" is a comprehensive CD anthology by the influential post-punk band Play Dead, released by Jungle Records / Indigo. This collection brings together some of the band's most iconic tracks, capturing their dark, atmospheric sound and raw energy that defined the early 1980s alternative scene. With songs like "This Kind of Heaven," "Break," and "Sacrosanct," listeners are taken on a journey through haunting melodies and powerful lyrics that showcase Play Dead's unique blend of gothic rock and post-punk intensity. Play Dead formed in Oxford in 1980 and quickly gained recognition for their intense live performances and distinctive style. Although they never achieved mainstream commercial success, they built a loyal cult following with albums such as "From the Promised Land" and singles that became underground anthems. Their music has influenced numerous bands within the goth and alternative genres. Jungle Records is renowned for its dedication to preserving classic punk, post-punk, goth, and alternative releases. Since its founding in London in 1982, Jungle Records has been instrumental in bringing seminal artists back into focus through high-quality reissues. Partnering with Indigo ensures wide distribution across Europe while maintaining exceptional production standards.
