Dying for It


Dying for It is the second release by Glasgow alternative rock group The Vaselines, like its predecessor an extended play single. The EP was later included on their career retrospective collection . "Teenage Superstars" was later included as the fourth track on their debut album Dum-Dum in 1989.
Alternative rock figurehead Kurt Cobain listed the "Dying for It" EP as his fourth favorite 'album' ever. His band Nirvana covered "Molly's Lips," named in tribute to well-known Scottish television personality Molly Weir, as well as a song from the earlier Vaselines EP, on their 1992 Compilation Incesticide. They also performed "Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam" for their MTV Unplugged in New York concert.
