Sonic Youth: Bad Moon Rising, Vinyl, Blast First / Homestead Records, 1985

Bad Moon Rising is the second studio album by American rock band Sonic Youth, released in March 1985 by Blast First and Homestead Records. 
This is their most explicitly sexual album, and among their darkest, exploring the collision of America's obsession with death with the hopeful ecstasies of the hippie generation.
Bad Moon Rising cast a shadowy portrait slicked in sweat and blood, not unlike the nightmarish caricatures of American institutions you often saw on the cover art for hardcore bands. This is not so much a collection of songs as it is an extended, unending uproar, seamless in sound and theme.  

This is the original UK pressing from 1985. It comes with the original single sheet lyric sheet and Blast First catalogue - see photos.
