Dead Can Dance

~ Release by Dead Can Dance (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

compilation of early demos and two john peel sessions, given by Brendan Perry to a fan

Tracks 8-11, and Tracks 12-15, are from the 1983 and 1984 John Peel Sessions (now available officially from 4AD Dead Can Dance Peel Sessions)

Track 01 (Frontier) is the same recording as the Demo version in the 1981-1998 Box Set (Hence it's removal as mentioned in the documentations which comes with the digitally distributed copy of this bootleg.)

Brendan Perry has officially released "A Means of Escape" on his website...

I'm still researching the other tracks.... This other recording of "Labour of Love" is different from both the Studio recording, and the Peel Session...
