Brand new, sealed Mobile Fidelity Pressing.
“First, Last, and Always” is the debut studio album by the British goth rock band The Sisters of Mercy, released in 1985. The album is characterized by its dark, brooding atmosphere, driven by Andrew Eldritch’s deep, haunting vocals, and the band’s use of drum machines and echoing guitars. It features iconic tracks like “Marian,” “Walk Away,” and “No Time to Cry,” which helped define the gothic rock genre of the 1980s. The lyrics explore themes of despair, loss, and introspection, wrapped in a melancholic soundscape. Despite internal tensions during its production, “First, Last, and Always” remains a landmark album, influential in both gothic rock and post-punk music circles.
