- With 27 rare and unreleased tracks from 2006 to 2020.
This October, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds will follow-up 2005’s B-Sides & Rarities with another collection, B-Sides and Rarities Part II. Compiled by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, this new compilation features 27 rare and unreleased tracks from 2006-2020, including the first recordings of ‘Skeleton Tree’, ‘Girl In Amber’ and ‘Bright Horses’.
There are various editions of this new collection, including a 2LP vinyl edition, deluxe two-CD set (with enhanced ‘rigid slipcase’ packaging featuring exclusive photographs and sleeve notes by Sean O’Hagan) and a cheaper digi-pack of the same two-CD set.
At the risk of confusing you, B-Sides & Rarities Part I is also being reissued. Since this was (and remains) a triple-CD set, ‘Part I’ of B-sides & Rarities consists of Volumes I, II and III. In total, this reissue of the 2005 set offers 56 tracks.
