| Alan Vega |
Solo artist and legendary front man of the band Suicide, Alan Vega celebrates his 70th birthday this year. To mark this occasion, blastfirstpetite is conducting a yearlong series of monthly limited edition releases.
Each release includes:
• an established recording artist paying tribute to Alan by covering one of his songs,
• a previously unreleased Suicide/Vega rarity from the archives,
• proving that Vega's work even now continues to inspire, a cover version by a young up and coming band.
Major artistes will include Bruce Springsteen, Primal Scream, Peaches, Grinderman, Spiritualised, The Horrors, Klaxons, Sunn 0)) + Pansonic, Julian Cope, Lydia Lunch, Vincent Gallo and Liars . Upcoming bands include Beat The Devil/Shilpa Ray, No Bra, HTRK, X-Vectors, Nik Void (ex-Kaito), Effi Briest, S.C.U.M., and Stephen Burroughs (ex-Head Of David).
The sleeve images are all by contemporary visual artists who have been inspired by Vega, including Edward Mapplethorpe, Alex Rose, Cary Kwok, and Colter Jacobsen.
The series kicks off on 23rd July with two editions of 4000 each (catalog number PTYT 017), in both 10” vinyl & a limited download. Featured on the A-side is Bruce Springsteen’s cover of “Dream Baby Dream” (a live recording from The Boss's 2005 “Devils & Dust” solo tour). The sleeve is by Edward Mapplethorpe.
A six CD 3000 limited edition box set featuring thirteen live Suicide sets from the early New York performances and their first European tour supporting The Clash & Elvis Costello is also being released. Entitled Live 1977-1978, the recordings are culled from the archives of Howard Thompson, the man who originally signed Suicide to Bronze/EMI outside of the USA.
Howard Thompson's archive, of which this box set largely comprises, consists of recordings made by himself and others who shared tapes so as to keep up with Suicide’s latest live adventures, and was originally intended purely for personal use.
