1985's First and Last and Always remains unequalled in goth, 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". Continuing 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.
The box set includes the original album alongside the three EPs that preceded its release - ‘Body & Soul’, ’Walk Away’ and ‘No Time To Cry’. Each EP features non-album bonus tracks.
