In the Beginning – The 1981 Singles is an EP by Play Dead. Just after Play Dead broke up in January 1986, Jung Records released this 4 track collection of their pre-The First Flower tracks. The four songs were originally released by the Fresh Records in 1981. The four songs were released on to the reissue of The First Flower album in 1993. The first three songs also feature original guitarist Re-Vox instead of Steve Green (play dead) who is on track 4.
