Double Feature Records release a limited edition (1,000) single-disc version of 13 Most Beautiful: Songs for Andy Warhol's Screen Tests. In response to fan requests, this new edition has been re-sequenced to match the running order of the live show that Dean & Britta have been performing for three years now, having played over 60 shows all around the world, from the Sydney Opera House to Lincoln Center in New York. Upcoming performances are scheduled for Portland, Oregon, Washington D.C., and Atlanta, GA.


This project was initially commissioned by the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. Dean & Britta created 13 songs and instrumentals to perform live in a multimedia show, with Andy Warhol's Screen Tests projected on a large screen above the band as they play. The screen tests were short silent films made by Warhol at the Factory between 1964 and 1966 - of actors, dancers, artists and Factory regulars. Each film is 4:15 in length. Dean & Britta selected 13 subjects (including Dennis Hopper, Lou Reed, Edie Sedgwick) and recorded 8 songs and 5 instrumentals for
them, including covers of Bob Dylan's "I'll Keep it With Mine" and the V.U.'s "Not a Young Man Anymore." Original Studio recordings produced by Dean & Britta.
