Album Description
Available in:
Born Sandy Devotional was an album by The Triffids, released in March 1986. All the songs on the album were written by David McComb. The album was recorded at Mark Angelo Studios in London in August 1985 and mixed at Amazon Studios in Liverpool in September 1985. The cover photo shows Mandurah, Western Australia—now a large urban centre—back in 1961.
When we finished Born Sandy Devotional I knew it was the best thing we’d ever done, there was no question about it. The writing was much more autobiographical than anything I’d done before, I felt quite close to the subject matter. I found myself almost following the idea of fidelity as a complete all-consuming faith, to give you some sort of direction or something.
And ‘Born Sandy Devotional’? It was the name of a song which didn’t make it onto the record which is about someone called Sandy… I like titles like those, they’re just a law unto themselves and they have a feeling unto themselves.
Born Sandy Devotional is the culmination of our efforts trying to capture our more considered lyrical approach with a physical intensity… well not really, but that will have to do. David McComb -
Born Sandy Devotional reached No. 37 on the Australian Album Charts and No. 18 on the Swedish Album Charts in 1986.
On 12 June 2006, Domino Records released a remastered edition including eight bonus tracks and the video for "Wide Open Road". The bonus tracks were selected by Graham Lee. The album was remastered from the original analogue recordings in Melbourne in February 2006. A limited edition was also released by Domino Records containing a 40-page booklet with copies of the hand written lyrics for the 10 songs taken from David McComb's original notebooks (which differ slightly from the actual words sung) and notes and photographs about the making of the album.
The remastered edition of Born Sandy Devotional reached No. 39 on the Belgium Album Charts in July 2006.
On 11 August 2007, SBS in Australia aired a one-hour documentary on the Triffids and Born Sandy Devotional as the 1980s' representative of their Great Australian Albums series. In October 2010 it was listed at No. 5 in the book 100 Best Australian Albums.
