Danse Macabre: De Luxe Bonus LP (RSD 25)

DANSE MACABRE: DE LUXE – Bonus LP contains 7 songs previously only available on vinyl via the expansive DANSE MACABRE: DE LUXE box set. Now, those 7 tracks are available on a standalone LP for the first time – and what better way to celebrate than with a special zoetrope keeping in the theme of the instant-classic Halloween-themed DANSE MACABRE?

3 of these tracks have been released digitally, on CD, and in the box set: an instrumental called “Masque of the Pink Death,” a cover of ELO’s “Evil Woman,” and “New Moon (Dark Phase)” featuring former Duran Duran member Andy Taylor (which is a reimagined cover of their classic song “New Moon On Monday” from their album Seven and The Ragged Tiger). The other 4 tracks are vinyl exclusives, now available on a standalone LP for the first time: “Spooky” (a cover of the Classics IV song performed by The Brides of Duracula), “Instructions for a Séance” (a spoken-word track from Nick Rhodes), and “The Visitor” and “Dialogues of the Dead” (two original instrumentals). This is a can’t-miss piece for Duran Duran fans and completists as well as Halloween enthusiasts.
