"always considered to be firmly in the minor leagues Play dead , for me were a rare jewel in the otherwise murky world of goth. This compilation is an excellent intro to the band and recants a very productive period in the bands development,For their finest work check out "company of justice" their final lp/cd , which is without doubt a monumental collection of classic goth. For those interested the band have an excellent web page , that fills in the gaps on a band who never really gained the acclaim that they so surely deserved."

Goth Pioneers Do Not Disappoint

"The complete studio recorded catalog from 1982-1983. You'll recall that the Sisters were at or about this level of production. Solid rhythms, driving bass lines, and vocals that range from triumphant to helpless. Nice for the collector who can't find the vinyl. Includes an address in the liner notes that is absolutely worthless."

Missing half

"i have the vinyl, and tracks 9-16 don't appear (because they're remixes perhaps?) if the second half is as good as the first 8 songs this is a must have for playdeadfans. though very underrated-play dead put out some extremly catching music that the mainstream of the 80's wasn't obviously ready for.
defiently ahead of their time"
