Mute To Release Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Box Set
by Staff | 00.00.0000

Spanning the full twenty-one years of Nick Cave And 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.

"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."

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. 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 box set is scheduled to be released March 22, 2005 on Mute Records.
