…If I Die, I Die was released only weeks before the Heresie box set. The two albums show very different faces of the Virgin Prunes – one that explored mythical worlds and another that showed their surrealistic interest in the creative power of insanity. They also highlight the ways in which the band enjoyed experimenting with different genres, sound forms and recording techniques. As Friday has commented recently, ‘The Virgin Prunes contained four different bands at the same time.’

This 40th Anniversary Edition of the album sees a full remaster housed in a Limited Edition 28pp Mediabook across 2CDs. The second disc features 16 tracks, 8 of which are previously unreleased including Rough mixes, remixes and demos. This 2CD package also includes brand new sleeve notes by Dr. Jonathan Wood exploring the writing, recording and production of the record.
