It was first released on Reliable Records in 1979 and then re- released on CBS in England with the same B-side \"Angela,\" a take on '60s girl groups that juxtaposed its innocent pop leaning with a tragic story. \"Die Trying\" did receive some airplay on John Peel's radio show and landed somewhere near the bottom of the British Charts. With a 7\" on CBS in the UK (which now goes for a strong price on Discogs) and a debut EP on US indie label 415 Records, the band rode the new wave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This collection of out-of-print early singles and unreleased demos showcases why they made fans both in the US and UK.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Propeller Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50482655166795,"sku":"2029413","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50482656772427,"sku":"2029426","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50482658214219,"sku":"2029429","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Die_Trying__Other_Hot_Sounds_1979_-_1983_40c5190b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727554749","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/die-trying-other-hot-sounds-1979-1983-2","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
