[carddass 273]

On 10/20, Madame Edwarda will release a 2-disk compilation "Doppelgänger 1983-1985" containing unreleased, live and alternate takes.

Their output during those years was limited to a few appearances on compilations, 2 singles and 1 full length album  before they ultimately put the band on hiatus following 1986's Illumine.

According to the tracklist from Diskunion, there are 13 unreleased songs from that era which, if they are truly full songs, would be quite alot considering they only released about 20 songs officially on thei aforementioned album/singles/comps.

 The version floating around on the web / youtube came from my cassette rip which I've learned years might not have been transferred in the best way possible. So if you're into sound quality, surely the CD comes will sound alot better and hopefully be from the master tapes.
