Release Notes:



Spanning the full twenty-one years of Nick Cave &
The Bad Seeds illustrious career, this comprehensive
three CD set, entitled B-Sides & Rarities... ... ,
presents a thrilling and eclectic retrospective
collection of material by the band, some of which
has been deleted, featured on a disparate number of
soundtrack albums or has never been officially
released before. From the menacing 'The Six Strings
That Drew Blood', through the distraught 'The Girl
At The Bottom Of My Glass', the fragile beauty of
'Little Empty Boat', the outlaw romance of '(I'll
Love You) Till The End Of The World', the plaintive
'Bluebird' through to the murderous attack of 'The
Ballad Of Robert Moore & Betty Coltrane', long term
Bad Seeds aficionados, recent converts or the merely
curious will find much to appreciate and enjoy in
this landmark 56 track compilation.

>From the very beginning of the band's career in
1984 (in that year 'The Moon Is In The Gutter'
appeared on the flipside of Nick Cave And The Bad
Seeds first 7" inch vinyl release, a cover of Elvis
Presley's 'In The Ghetto') through to the 2004 track
'Under This Moon' (a track that was previously only
available on the B-Side of 'Breathless' / 'There She
Goes My Beautiful World' from the recent critically
acclaimed album "Abattoir Blues / The Lyre Of
Orpheus"), B-Sides & Rarities offers an alternative
engrossing account of the band's continuing artistic
development and influences through its impressive
collection of extra studio recorded tracks that that
were not included on completed Nick Cave And The Bad
Seed albums, songs that were recorded on commission
for motion picture soundtracks or cover version
tribute albums and two radio sessions.

"Basically, this is material that was B-sides,
outtakes or extra recordings," states Mick Harvey, a
founding member of The Bad Seeds, the groups multi
instrumentalist and this project's co-ordinator. "We
tried to include everything that came under that
criteria. The other criteria was that it was a Bad
Seeds recording not a Nick Cave recording. There
isn't anything by Nick working with other people or
by himself, it's just Nick with members of The Bad
Seeds*. The only real diversion from the theme is
'God's Hotel' and 'O'Malley's Bar', which are radio
sessions, because we liked them and thought that
they deserved some further airing. We left off
'B-side' from the 'Loverman' CD single because
that's not a song, it's an editing exercise, and
'Where The Action Is' because it was too long and
sprawling. We'll try and keep those singles
available."

This project has been gestating for some years. "I
originally put the idea of doing this B-Sides &
Rarities collection in 1996/97, compiling two discs,
as it would have been then," recollects Harvey. "The
general response was, 'Yes, great idea. We just have
to look for the right moment to do it.' There hasn't
been enough space where there wasn't something else
imminent. Its release now is a fairly arbitrary
moment in time. Now it has expanded to three discs,
which is fine. The running order was generally put
together in some chronological order, although it
was mixed up a little here and there, if songs
didn't go together very well. The quality jumps
around enormously. 'God's Hotel' is very rough and
ready, all DI lines, radio studio and then it cuts
to '(I'll Love You) Till The End Of The World', this
track we recorded specially, high production quality
song for a film, a Wim Wenders' film, strings... it
jumps from one thing to the next. The same thing
happens with 'Cassiel's Song' (another Wender's
soundtrack commission) that runs into 'Tower Of
Song' (an irreverent and highly humorous Leonard
Cohen cover), which was us just hammering it
straight out to DAT in the studio."


Is that part of the charm of B-Sides & Rarities? "It
has to be...."


Enjoy this fine release ! :)
