The Sisters of Mercy - First And Last And Always (40th Anniversary) [4LP Black & Red]

This 40th anniversary edition is a 4LP black and red marble vinyl set, releasing July 4, 2025-because what better way to celebrate independence than with gothic despair? It includes the original 1985 debut album, featuring moody anthems like “Marian,” “Possession,” and the unforgettable title track. Andrew Eldritch’s baritone still drips with theatrical melancholy, layered over drum machines and shimmering guitar lines.

Even better, this set brings together the essential EPs that led up to the album’s release: Body & Soul, Walk Away, and No Time to Cry. These records show the band sharpening their sound-where synths meet sorrow and punk collides with cathedral echoes. Tracks like “Body Electric” and “Emma” showcase their evolution from underground cult to genre-defining force.

Sonically remastered and pressed on those striking black and red marble discs, this edition isn’t just a reissue-it’s a gothic collector’s dream. It’s dramatic, it’s doomy, and it’s downright gorgeous.

Whether you're reliving your eyeliner-heavy youth or discovering the sound that helped birth darkwave, this box set is your portal into The Sisters’ haunting legacy.
