First Blood… Last Cuts was originally released in 1993 as W.A.S.P.’s first major greatest‑hits compilation — a career‑spanning set covering the band’s first decade, including two new tracks and several exclusive 90s remixes.
 
The 2019 Madfish reissue brings this iconic compilation back to vinyl for the first time since its original pressing. It’s presented as a 2×LP black‑vinyl set in a wide‑spine sleeve, featuring the full 16‑track lineup including:
 
“Animal (F* Like a Beast)”**
“L.O.V.E. Machine (Remix)”
“Wild Child (Remix)”
“Sunset and Babylon” (exclusive to this compilation)
“Chainsaw Charlie (Sawn‑Off Version)”
“The Idol (Crimson Edit)”
 
This edition faithfully reproduces the original artwork and tracklist while giving collectors a clean, modern pressing.
 
Why This Record Is in the Crimson Vinyl Collection
This one hits all my W.A.S.P. nostalgia buttons at once. First Blood… Last Cuts is the perfect snapshot of the band’s first decade — the sleaze, the shock, the anthems, the attitude. It’s the era that made me a fan in the first place.
 
The 2019 Madfish reissue is exactly the kind of pressing I love stocking at Crimson Vinyl:
A long‑out‑of‑print classic finally back on wax
Wide‑spine 2LP packaging that feels premium
Exclusive mixes and cuts you can’t get on the studio albums
A proper career‑spanning set that plays like a victory lap
 
It’s one of those compilations that actually means something — not a lazy cash‑grab, but a curated snapshot of a band at full power.
