Right Round (Like a Record): Edsel Preps Dead or Alive CD Singles Box

Dead or Alive Still Spinnin

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.CO.UK

Against all odds, Edsel will release a third deep-dive box set into the career of U.K. hitmakers Dead or Alive - this time focusing on their single mixes.

Still Spinnin': The Singles Collection 1983-2021 offers 27 discs of the group's single releases through their entire career, including hits like "Lover Come Back to Me," "Brand New Lover," "My Heart Goes Bang (Get Me to the Doctor)", "Something in My House" - and of course, the international smash "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)," which became the first U.K. chart-topper for both the group and their production team, Stock Aitken Waterman. All discs are packaged in replica mini-sleeves using art from domestic and international releases.

"You Spin Me Round," interpolated in Flo Rida and Kesha's 2009 hit "Right Round," has been a mainstay of British charts, re-entering the U.K. Top 40 when it was remixed for a hits compilation in 2003 and cracking the Top 5 once more three years later; all these remix versions, plus some released in Australia and France in 1996 and 1997, will be included here, too. Other highlights include rare singles only released in Japan, dozens of B-sides from just about every variant of single the group ever released (meaning a handful of repeats from various 7"s, 10"s, 12", CDs and digital releases "to preserve the authenticity" of the releases), a 1994 cover of David Bowie's "Rebel Rebel" recorded by frontman Pete Burns and multi-instrumentalist Steve Coy under the name International Chrysis, and one unreleased track: a long megamix commissioned to promote the group's 1989 album Nude.

Fans would be forgiven to regard Still Spinnin' with a modicum of hesitation. Edsel's previous all-out releases celebrating Dead or Alive - 2016's Sophisticated Boom Box MMXVI (featuring expanded editions of the group's albums for Epic Records and issued days before Burns' passing) and 2020's Invincible (focused on the group's '90s and '00s output) were plagued with pressing errors. (Edsel issued replacement discs for nine CDs and two DVDs in Sophisticated and the two bonus discs to Invincible.)

For those who'd rather not turn around and count 2 ten, Still Spinnin' can be pre-ordered now, with an expected release date of February 16. The full track list is below.
