This much-anticipated release features mostly unreleased recordings from the late '70s/early '80s Brisbane band fronted by the Died Pretty's guitarist/songwriter Brett Myers, Inspired by Brisbane's punk explosion, The End appeared at the end of '79 and played alongside the likes of The Go-Betweens, The Riptides, The 31st, The Apartments and others, before relocating to inner-city Sydney where they disbanded four years later.


Their early repertoire consisting largely of covers - mostly Velvet Underground but also The Stooges, Destroy All Monsters, Wire, Eno, The Feelies and Pere Ubu was joined by a steadily increasing number of originals by singer/guitarist Brett Myers.


This double CD set is mainly a collection of demos, live recordings and rehearsals that gives great insight into the musical genesis of Died Pretty's musical directions, Early versions of Died Pretty tunes "Just Skin", "This Reason", "Through My Heart" and "Lost" are included along with the band's only 7" single "My Confession/White World".
