Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: Murder Ballads (2LP)

Reissue of the Nick Cave classic. This vinyl reissue was supervised by Bad Seeds member Mick Harvey! Nick Cave's ninth studio album (1996) was to be his most successful most successful. Thanks to the duet with Kylie Minogue, "Where The Wild Roses Grow," Nick Cave suddenly found himself in the high ranks of the charts worldwide. Other guests on the album include PJ Harvey and the former Pogues singer Shane MacGowan. As the album title suggests, these are traditional stories in which a murder committed out of passion plays the central role in terms of content. Musically these are staged between morbid country, clever alternative rock and playful cabaret jazz. The vinyl editions of Nick were long out of print and traded as rarities. In October, the film "20,000 Days on Earth" was launched, in a sense (so with tongue in cheek) a documentary about the life and work of Nick Cave.
