Died Pretty's magnificent 1986 debut LP: Free Dirt is one of the all-time classic Australian albums. It followed 3 excellent singles / EP’s and signalled the arrival of what would become one of our most-loved bands over their celebrated 18 year career.

Collected here, for the first time, are Died Pretty's first five releases: the 'Out Of The Unknown' and 'Mirror Blues' singles, the Next To Nothing EP, the Free Dirt album and the 'Stoneage Cinderella' single. PLUS an additional 10 bonus tracks – including previously unreleased demos, a live-to-air radio performance from 1986 and other live rarities.

This deluxe 2CD version is packaged in an 8 panel digi-pak, with a 28 page booklet containing many previously unpublished photos. It has been digitally remastered from the original master tapes.
