Hmmm.
SPRINGSTEEN, BRUCE/SUICIDE
Title: Dream Baby Dream
Label: BLAST FIRST PETITE (UK)
Format: 10"
Price: $14.50
Catalog #: PTYT 017EP
This is the first in Blast First Petite's year-long series of
monthly(ish) limited edition 10" vinyl EPs celebrating the 70th
birthday of Suicide's Alan Vega. The first track is "The Boss" himself
Bruce Springsteen doing a cover of "Dream Baby Dream," live from his
2005 Devils & Dust Tour -- exclusively available here. Totally
haunting and unexpected! The flipside features Suicide performing that
song on the Midnight Special live TV show in 1978 -- recently
recovered from a lost Suicide vault and previously unreleased -- as
well as a ripping cover of "Mr. Ray" by now-defunct contemporary New
York band, Beat The Devil. Subsequent editions in this series will
include tributes by artists such as The Horrors, Peaches, Primal
Scream, SUNN O)))/Pansonic, Lydia Lunch, The Klaxons, Julian Cope,
Liars, Spiritualised, and Grinderman. Edition of 4,000 black vinyl.

Mapplethorpe), 1994.
