Hey there,
Does anyone have any early Dead or Alive? These songs were pre-Sophisticated Boom Boom or around that time and I don't think any have been released on CD.

Hi I'll check my archives let you know soon

I found 3 so far i've just send them to you via www.yousendit.com so I will be sending you the other one ok , I send you a remix of stranger it's not the greatest copy but I did send you the original song " Stranger" I also send you "some of that" and " Number 11" hope you get them .

Hmmm...
I never received them, or any mail for that matter. I wonder what happened. Anyway, I'd still love to have those songs, any of them! Maybe you could try resending? Thanks! D

sure no problem[:)]

Wow!
I heard they were Goth/DR when they first started out, but it doesn't add up, because I heard the Song Black Leather as Nightmares in Wax and that was previous to Number 11, and that didn't sound Goth to me really. However, this song Number 11 DOES sound Death Rock! Very much so! I am blown away! I can't believe it! I think that is so cool!

Anyway, thanks so much for that song! If you have any others that I mentioned that you would like to send, that would be great! I think you mentioned The Stranger? If so, that would be awesome! Thanks again!

I've got a CDR of all their early stuff. The sound is great, it's been professionally remastered. Let me know if you want to do a trade or something. I can get you the song listing as well if you need it.

Hey there gilson80boy!
Unfortunately, I'm new to this, so I have very little on MP3 and the same goes for CD. I recently sold my vinyl collection and I'm slowly buying everything I want on CD or burning what I can't find.

Anyway, if you have a song list, that would be great! Send a few through e-mail? Or?....

Think early Danse Society sound, that's very similar to the very early (80-82) Dead or Alive material. I too have this on CD, about 15 tracks. With the exception of hearing the voice, you'd never believe it was Dead or Alive. Great sound.

Hi everyone. I'm new to this too, and really only joined because I've been desperately seeking The Selfish Side by Dead or Alive, and / or any other pre Boom Boom B sides and releases. I had the album many years ago, but it was destroyed by water damage. Don't know what I could "offer" for it... but we can talk... if you have it... cheers!

Can somebody send me this song getyourbootson is talking about?

I don't have these songs anymore, but I'll see what I can do. If I find them, I'll post them here.

This is an early Pete Burns (from Nightmares on Wax) track from 1980 or so that preceded Dead or Alive. Hope it not too early to be what you are looking for.


To have ambition is my ambition

Im sending you a .zip file with six of your tracks... hope they are the right versions, I just downloaded these myself and cant speak to their authenticity.
