The Sisters Of Mercy – First And Last And Always – Red/Black Marbled Vinyl LP

Description

1985’s First and Last and Always remains unequalled in the goth genre, permanently granted top place on a pedestal from which it cannot be toppled. From the opening claustrophobia of Black Planet to the melancholy No Time to Cry, Eldritch continually assured listeners that “everything’s gonna be alright”. The album continues with the bass-driven guitar gem Possession and the closing Some Kind of Stranger, an untouchable epic that, clocking in at over seven minutes, is the best of its kind. Some Kind of Stranger became a ‘love song’ for the dressed-in-black crowd. Copied to death, its brilliance has never been replicated.
