Tenth anniversary reissue of the Mercury Prize winning debut album from Young Fathers. For the first time the album is packaged as a 2xLP, with the original album on disc one and the second disc contains a series of b-sides and rarities which have never had a physical release before and an etching on the fourth side. The record will be pressed on new, exclusive coloured/effect vinyl for this release and for the first time available in a gatefold sleeve with mirror board effect. There will also be expanded additional inner contents from the era. Young Fathers have enjoyed a huge year in 2023 with their biggest ever live shows, a critically acclaimed fourth album ‘Heavy Heavy’ which was also nominated for the Mercury Prize. The public appetite for YF has never been stronger so celebrating a decade of their debut feels perfectly timed.
Dead - the uncompromising debut album from one of the UK’s most essential and in-demand bands, Young Fathers, is getting a deluxe reissue befitting of it’s status to celebrate a decade since the original release as part of Record Store Day 2024. Upon release in 2014, the album was the winner of the Mercury Music Prize and was celebrated as one of the albums of the year throughout the music press. The album took the genre defying Scotting trio from underground heroes to being well on their way to one of the countries most cherished collectives. In the ten years that have passed since Dead, Young Fathers have released three more acclaimed albums, including Heavy Heavy in 2023 which was also nominated for the Mercury and saw them play many huge shows including a triumphant Glastonbury set on the West Holts as well as join Depeche Mode as ‘Special Guests’ on a worldwide stadium tour.
