The Death of Elvis

Frenz of NSS Mauxuam (featured in the October Month of Mauz) requested on the Musick S: Sandals share a couple of projects that I am now happy to be able to get to with enough time to do an adequate job. For the next two shares I’'ll be hitting those requests. 

 

First off is Death in Vegas, the electronic rock project of one Richard Fearless (Richard Maguire) with Steve Heller at the outset. Originally called Dead Elvis, they were pressured by Graceland to change their name. Dead Elvis became the name of their first full-length.

I included this share because my favorit version of "Dirt" (the Slayer mix) is included. There are several really good remixes. This is a great companion piece to Dead Elvis.
