Thirty years of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, from their From Her To Eternity debut through to 2014’s Push The Sky Away will be remembered on a new best of collection.
Out on May 5th, Lovely Creatures is to be available in a variety of forms, ranging from a standard 21-track CD to heavyweight 12″ vinyl and a Super Deluxe 3CD/DVD edition which will come with a hardcover book containing original essays, and candid and personal photos taken by the band, their family and friends.
“There are some people out there who just don’t know where to start with The Bad Seeds,” Nick Cave says. “Others know the catalogue better than I do! This release is designed to be a way into three decades of music making. That’s a lot of songs. The songs we have chosen are the ones that have stuck around, for whatever reason.”
“Some songs are those that demand to be played live. Others are lesser songs that are personal favourites of ours. Others are just too big and have too much history to leave out. And there are those that didn’t make it, poor things. They are the ones you must discover by yourselves.”
