The First Floweris Play Dead's debut album, recorded at the Jungle Records studio in March of 1983. Originally titled "The First Flower: A Six Track Album," this album came totally unexpected as the group had disappeared since their last record company Fresh Records had gone under. The album was reissued in 1993 as simply "The First Flower" and included ten extra tracks. Four of the ten extra tracks featured original guitarist "Re-Vox."
