Cover of The Firstborn Is Dead by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

The Firstborn Is Dead

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds · 1985

Tupleo, via John Peel, is an epic track. "The Sandman comes!", "No sleep runs this deep". It's dreamlike. It was my introduction to all that is Nick Cave.

This album is in my top 100.
