Big Top Halloween is the first album by the band the Afghan Whigs.

[1][2] It was released in 1988 via Ultrasuede.

[3][4] Two thousand copies of the record were pressed.

[5] Trouser Press wrote that "there's a surprising amount of subtlety—sophistication, even—rustling beneath the boozy, gutter-rat surface of the quartet's self-released debut ... an altogether terrific debut.

"[8] All tracks written by Greg Dulli and John Curley.
