Our Take

Ah, the early days of Dead or Alive are a wondrous time to revisit in this collection of singles, demos, sessions, and live recordings from 1979-1982. It's like a time capsule of the band's evolution before they hit the dancefloor with their signature sound.

From the raw energy of the demos to the polished performances captured in live recordings, there's a delightful chaos to be found in this compilation. You can hear the band experimenting with different genres and styles, trying to find their footing in a music scene that was constantly evolving.

The standout tracks include the infectious "I'd Do Anything", which showcases lead singer Pete Burns' flamboyant vocals and the band's knack for crafting catchy hooks. It's a shame this track never made it onto an official release, but it's a gem to discover in this collection.

While the sound quality varies throughout the album, it only adds to the charm of these early recordings. You can hear the passion and enthusiasm of a band on the brink of stardom, trying to make their mark on the music world.

Overall, "Let Them Drag My Soul Away" is a must-have for any Dead or Alive fan looking to delve into the band's formative years. It's a fascinating glimpse into the creative process of a group that would go on to become one of the most iconic acts of the 80s.
