Firstborn is the second studio album released by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Cave explores his fascination with the American South, with references ranging from Elvis Presley to "Blind" Lemon Jefferson. Co-produced by Nick Cave, the band and Flood. The album's name is a reference to Jesse Garon Presley, the stillborn identical twin of Elvis Presley, and 'Wanted Man' was Cave's own take on a song Bob Dylan wrote for Johnny Cash. Dylan gave his permission for the lyrics to be changed, with Cave's interpretation referencing his friends. Recorded in Berlin, this album was originally released on 3 June 1985.
This deluxe digitally remastered and expanded two disc (CD/DVD) edition contains the remastered stereo album in a 5.1 surround and stereo mixes, a specially commissioned short film plus B-sides from the singles, music videos and exclusive sleeve notes. Audio tracks included as MP3 on the DVD.
