Christian Death was formed by Rozz Williams in Los Angeles, California in 1979. Williams was eventually joined by guitarist/songwriter Rikk Agnew of Adolescents, James McGearty on bass and George Belanger on drums. This Christian Death line-up was responsible for recording the band's iconic 1982 debut, 'Only Theatre Of Pain,' widely regarded as the #1 American goth album of all-time. This exclusive double-LP version commemorates its 40th anniversary - the first disc is the digitally remastered, original version of the album while the second disc is comprised of 'Dogs' from 'Hell Comes To Your House,' four pre-Frontier demos, two studio demos made for a second Frontier Records LP that never happened and two alternate studio mixes from 'Only Theatre Of Pain.' The gatefold LP jacket is printed in its original black and metallic gold, includes a Colver collage poster and a hardcover copy of the photo book 'Only Theatre Of Pain' and all come in a hard slipcase. The oversized 12" x 12" book features rare and never-before-seen photos of Christian Death as well as new interviews with photographer Edward C. Colver, the surviving band members, Frontier's Lisa Fancher and others. Colver befriended the band and followed them around in late 1981 and early 1982 at more than a dozen concerts as well as photo shoots in Rozz Williams' family home (used on the back cover and insert) and a session of now famous images at a Pomona CA cemetery. This is a one-time only, strictly-limited edition box set, never to be sold as a set once these are gone.
