DEAD OR ALIVE Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Running Wild - The Inevitable Years offers a captivating glimpse into the formative years of Dead Or Alive, capturing the band's early foray into the post-punk goth scene. Compiled on berry-red vinyl, this release includes two classic and highly collectible Inevitable singles along with related Peel Session recordings, providing listeners with a comprehensive overview of the band's evolution. Frontman Pete Burns, initially discovered while working at Liverpool's Probe Records during the late 1970s punk rock explosion, quickly rose to prominence as Dead Or Alive's charismatic lead singer. Before achieving pop superstardom, Burns and the band delved into darker musical waters, exploring the burgeoning post-punk Goth scene. Running Wild serves as a sequel and companion to the critically and commercially successful 'Let Them Drag My Soul Away', offering fans and collectors alike a long-awaited back story accompaniment. With its vibrant berry-red vinyl and cover photograph by Dead Or Alive's then-manager Francesco Mellina, this release is a must-have for anyone interested in the early days of Dead Or Alive and the broader post-punk music landscape.
