Dead Elvis

Description
'Dead Elvis' is the debut album by Death In Vegas, originally released in 1997 in a period at the height of British dance culture. The band has always been the brainchild of Richard Fearless and his partner for this album was Simon Hellier. Together they fashioned a remarkable, disparate and experimental album that defied any categorisation, encompassing dance, dub, electronic, big beat, jazz and so much more. This 2CD set brings together on a bonus disc all the fantastic b-sides and mixes that were part of what Death In Vegas were all about. Liner notes by renowned music journalist Andrew Perry include interview with Richard Fearless.

The Contino Sessions

Description
'The Contino Sessions' is the second album by Death In Vegas. Released in September 1999, it saw Richard Fearless with a new partner in Tim Holmes. Once again an experimental and challenging work, the time was right for Death In Vegas and the album charted in the Top Twenty, with the single 'Aisha' hitting the Top Ten. Guest vocalists Iggy Pop, Bobby Gillespie and Jim Reid all put in staggering performances, but it is Dot Allison's vocal on 'Dirge' that has become the album's signature tune. This special 2CD set brings together on a bonus disc all the 'Contino Mixes' from those sessions. Liner notes by renowned music journalist Andrew Perry include interview with Richard Fearless.

Scorpio Rising

Description
Like its predecessor 'The Contino Sessions', 'Scorpio Rising' was another massive critical success on its release in September 2002, and it duly went Top 20 in the UK - again, a mind-blowing achievement for such an experimental, disparate and often macabre listening experience. Guest vocalists include Paul Weller, Dot Allison, Susan Dillane, Hope Sandoval, and most headline-grabbingly at the time, Liam Gallagher took time out from production on Oasis's "Heathen Chemistry" album to voice the title track. This special 2CD set brings together on a bonus disc all the mixes of the singles as well as a BBC Evening Session from the album's aftermath which gives a window onto how the Death In Vegas roadshow unfolded as a fully integrated live band. Liner notes by renowned music journalist Andrew Perry include interview with Richard Fearless.
