Remastered version of the second Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds album, originally released in 1985.
The Firstborn Is Dead is the second album released by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. It was first released in 1985. Nick Cave took his obsession with the American South a bit further on this record, with its references to Elvis Presley and bluesmen like Blind Lemon Jefferson. The photography is by Jutta Heinglein.
The album's name is a reference to Jesse Garon Presley, the stillborn identical twin of Elvis Presley.
