Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds veröffentlichen B-Sides & Rarities Part II, den lang erwarteten Nachfolger des 2005 erschienenen Albums B-Sides & Rarities, am 22. Oktober auf Doppel-Vinyl, Doppel-CD, Deluxe-Doppel-CD und allen digitalen Plattformen.
B-Sides & Rarities Part I und Part II werden auch zusammen als Limited Edition Deluxe 7 Vinyl Box Set mit 83 raren Tracks und exklusiven Cover Notes veröffentlicht.
B-Sides & Rarities Part II wurde von Nick Cave und Warren Ellis zusammengestellt und enthält 27 seltene und unveröffentlichte Tracks aus den Jahren 2006-2020, darunter die ersten Aufnahmen von ‚Skeleton Tree‘, ‚Girl In Amber‘ und ‚Bright Horses‘.
Der bisher unveröffentlichte Song ‚Vortex‘ ist jetzt als Stream verfügbar. Er stammt von B-Sides & Rarities Part II und wurde 2006 von Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, Martyn Casey und Jim Sclavunos geschrieben und aufgenommen. Da die Band nie in der Lage war, den Song entweder als Grinderman oder Bad Seeds zu definieren, blieb er unveröffentlicht.
Das Originalalbum B-Sides & Rarities Part I wurde 2005 veröffentlicht – zusammengestellt von Mick Harvey enthält es 56 Tracks, darunter Raritäten, Outtakes, Covers und B-Seiten aus den Jahren 1988-2005. Dies ist das erste Mal, dass das Album auf Vinyl erhältlich ist.
“I always liked the original B-Sides & Rarities more than any of our other albums. It’s the only one I’d listen to willingly. It seems more relaxed, even a bit nonsensical in places, but with some beautiful songs throughout. There is something, too, about the smallness of certain songs that is closer to their original spirit.
B-Sides & Rarities Part II continues this strange and beautiful collection of lost songs from The Bad Seeds. I love the final side of the last disc because it reveals the small and fragile beginnings of some of my favourite Bad Seeds songs. ‚Waiting For You‘ complete with bizarre ‘canning factory’ rhythm track, a gorgeous ‚Life Per Se‘ deemed too sad for Skeleton Tree, and ‘Earthlings’ that some consider the finest track of the Ghosteen sessions.” – Nick Cave
