Has anyone heard any information on any re-issues of albums by a band called Play Dead? Play Dead is a pretty obscure, but GREAT 80s goth group from Oxford, England.

They did a song called "Sacrosant" IIRC. There was a instrumental version on the b-side of a 12 inch; it was awesome!

Yeah, I love all three versions of Sacrosanct. My favorite is from Resurrection.
I can send pretty much ALL of their music to anyone who's interested in listening to this forgotten little classic. It's hard to imagine (in my opinion) that THIS band didn't get more attention.

After looking at the Play Dead web site you have listed in your profile I guess I am referring to The Heretic Mix, NOT available on CD [:(]

I emailed you requesting it, but the address you have listed in your profile was "undeliverable",[:(][:(]

Undeliverable? Huh...
Well, fortunately I have all of their "unreleased on CD" material. I'll send you the "Sacrosanct (heretic mix)" MP3.Any more requests?

I would also recommend downloading the Mankind's Audio Development material and the Play Dead song "Pale Fire" too. And there's about 100 live Bootleg MP3s of Play Dead in the "credits" section of the website.
