Fifth Studio Album on Vinyl LP!
Originally released in 1988 on Mute Records, the album was recorded during several sessions over the course of four months in West Berlin and London.
The album opens with Nick Cave's signature song "The Mercy Seat" and contains the song "Deanna" which is loosely based on The Edwin Hawkins' Singers version of the hymn "Oh Happy Day."
...insanely powerful, gripping...Rather than simply redoing what they'd already done, Nick Cave and company took their striking musical fusions to deeper and higher levels all around, with fantastic consequences.
