Junkyard is the third studio album by Australian post-punk group the Birthday Party. It was released on 10 July 1982 through the label 4AD in the UK and through Missing Link Records in Australia.[4] It was the group's last full-length studio recording. It has received critical acclaim.
Background
Junkyard was inspired by American Southern Gothic imagery, dealing with extreme subjects like an evangelist's murdered daughter. Anita Lane, then girlfriend of lead singer Nick Cave, co-wrote two songs for the album: "Dead Joe" and "Kiss Me Black".
The album was a transitional record for a variety of reasons. On 16 February 1982 in Melbourne, Tracy Pew (the band's bass player) was arrested for drunk driving. For this and several other outstanding offences he served 2.5 months in HM Prison Won Wron in Australia, and so Barry Adamson played bass on one track. In addition to his usual guitar, Mick Harvey played drums on a few songs, anticipating the upcoming departure of founding member Phill Calvert and the group's subsequent switch from quintet to quartet.
