The Birthday Party - The Bad Seed




To mark another inauspicious day in Badgerstump Towers, I thought I'd post the greatest 12" ever created. It's remarkable to think that this was released 34 years ago.

The Bad Seed

They say it's better to give than to receive (although that clearly depends on what's on offer) so I thought I'd throw in some things that I posted in 2010ish: Kousokuya and the Live At Shinjuku JAM dvd; the Kawabata Makoto post (and I've added the Pulsating Electric Force cdr that was the fifth installment in the Private Sound Drawing series); YBO²; Vajra and Hanatarash.

This is a bit popular for you isn't it?....but i've been straining my brain to think of a greater 12"-er...and you know what you're right!

Thank you SO muchfor the re-posts. So very wonderful.

That is a nice memory of Rowland S.Howard for me. As great and celebrated a guitarist as he was, he was most certainly an underrated vocalist...

And yes, thank you for all the re-ups. Truly amazing!

@Badgerstump & Jonny Zchivago:
Bold statement that. I lean toward Adam & the Ants' "Stand & Deliver" for the 12" honors though I recognize the merit in your collective choice. Hearty thanks for the post(s) to your both.

@ kingpossum

call yourself Lord Of The Marsupials? Koalas everywhere are hanging their heads in shame!

Ha! Oh-e-oh-e-oh-oh-oh.

Clearly, ridicule is nothing to be scared of!

Indeed. Being highly individualistic and misunderstood beasts, we soldier on, non-plussed.

Oh-e-oh-e-oh-oh-oh.

Wow! Late to the party as usual... these re-UPs are stunning. Thank you. My heart skips beats thinking of all the Haino & CCCC related stuff I am completely unaware of. School sesh is open. Its also shocking, funny, strange to hear the bad seeds as a best album to some. For me, being younger, I hear John Spencer, Marching Church, & other artists that clearly borrowed influence from BP.Thank you kindly again :)

Adam Ant can wear the hell out of a hat. That's true.
