Catalog #:	VOD 001.5LP

Originally issued as a cassette in 1982. 180 gram pressing, numbered to 500 copies. "On this live recording which first appeared as a bootleg cassette, which the Tödliche Doris bootlegged themselves, one hears Käthe Kruse on drums alongside Wolfgang Müller and Nikolaus Utermöhlen. The group sounds astoundingly powerful and expressive, surprisingly close to rock or rather industrial music. As special guest a kettle appeared on stage with ist own microphone and spotlight, which began to whistle at the beginning of the song 'Die sieben tödliche Unfälle im Haushalt' (The Seven Deadly Accidents in The Home)."

Title:	Chore & Soli - Live im Delphi-palast Sylvester 83/84
Label:	VINYL ON DEMAND (GERMANY)
Format:	LP
Price:	$21.00
Catalog #:	VOD 001.6LP

Originally issued on cassette, 1984. 180 gram pressing, numbered to 500 copies. "These live recordings of the 'Choirs and Solos' program were recorded on New Years eve 1983/84 within the framework of an accompanying program to the exhibition 'Der Hang zum Gesamtkunstwerk' (Tendency Towards Art as a Whole). The tender a cappella songs, which here as a rule are a little longer than the recordings on doll records had allowed become more and more drowned out by the celebrations of the crowd. But this is not that tragic, for the Tödliche Doris always liked to make room for others."

Artist:	DIE TÖDLICHE DORIS
Title:	Kinderringelreihen Für Wahren Toren Des Grals
Label:	PSYCHEDELIC PIG
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	PIG 002CD

"During the years 1980-87, German trio Die Tödliche Doris (Deadly Doris) was a vital presence in the Berlin underground music and art scene. Early records on cult labels Zickzack and Atatak revealed Doris as a willfully obscure component of the 'neue deutsche welle', and their live shows melded their particular brand of raw post-punk cacophony with high-minded performance art sensibility. This overdue release, whose title translates to 'Nursery Rhymes for True Fools of the Grail', adds greatly to the canon as it is only the second CD by Die Tödliche Doris, and contains 20 strange, rare and unpublished tracks from 1980-85. In addition to a wide cross-section of previously unreleased live material, it culls several unheard recordings from the Doris archive, and documents some unusual collaborations, switched identities and lo-fi early tracks such as 'Doris Intakt', 'Schuld-Struktur' and the group's primitive take on 'Warm Leatherette'. With photos, fully annotated liner notes and an attractive package designed by Richard Chartier, this CD will prove a valuable document to both Doris cognoscenti and neophytes alike. Limited edition of 750 copies."

Title:	Welten - Worlds - Ohontsa'shón:'a
Label:	VINYL ON DEMAND (GERMANY)
Format:	LP
Price:	$21.00
Catalog #:	VOD 019LP

"Early eighties sound-project and conceptual work from 1984 also known as 'Gerry Belz'. Worlds of music ringed out on our planet. Simultaneously blown out, not attuned but still tuned incidentally, partly at on purpose. In 1984, Die Tödliche Doris was given the chance for such a coincidence of two different worlds. They were invited to compose the music for a fashion-show in the Deplane Kunsthalle Berlin. For the first time, this fully documented composition consists of 24 Audiotapes with sounds and music-recordings which were recorded and then played with different technically defect tape-recorders and which were accompanied of the band 'Gerry-Belz-Showband' which has been selected from the employment-office in Berlin. The repertoire of the three elderly men did consist of the usually well-known evergreens of entertainment and light-music.

Die Tödliche Doris is sometimes referred to an industrial-band. In fact, the group has played and cooperated with SPK and Twin Vision. If there is any music of the band which can be referred to Industrial, then it is this project here, which was only released in certain pieces to this point."
