The deluxe CD version of the latest recordings by Die Tödliche Doris after a silent period of decades. A sound spectrum of 31 contemporary dildos and vibrators.

The Deadly Doris now appears to us as a performer, musician and instrument in one. Tabea Blumenschein, a founding member, made illustrations of all 31 sex toys. In the Neuköllner recording studio of Frieder Butzmann cultural scientist Katrin Kämpf put the devices into operational and receptive readiness; her reviews appear on the backs of the corresponding portraits (in English, German and Japanese).

Wolfgang Müller founded Die Tödliche Doris in 1980, presenting the public persona of Doris as a constantly shifting entity that deliberately engaged the contradictions of the human condition. The band often referenced themselves in the third person singular, alluding to Doris as a fully-formed female character with explosive, colourful emotions.

"The Deadly Doris (Englische version), have mastered the illogic of a very creepy dream experienced under the influence of half a litre of out of date "Night Nurse". Full of everything you need; desperate screamed vocals.....in German! Scraping violin strings! Incompetent childlike drumming! And no recognisable reference to modern pop culture. This music is like a Primal Scream from a long forgotten prison cell; which I suppose West Berlin was a large version of when these nutters were active. Unhinged genius!!" (Die or DIY).

Ltd x 300 copies in a printed 7" boxset containing the CD in its own sleeve, 31 illustration cards and separate info sheet.

Japanese import. Very few copies in stock!
