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.

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. Double Crystal Clear 140g vinyl, limited to 2000 units worldwide for Record Store Day 2024. Housed in a mirrorboard effect gatefold sleeve and containing b-sides and rarities from the era alongside an etching design on Side D of the vinyl of the 2014 Young Fathers logo.
