What the label says:

"Murder Ballads" is the ninth studio album produced by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds. Containing a remarkable and varied collection of songs that could loosely be described as 'murder ballads'.On "Murder Ballads" Cave wanted to take risks, experiment and collaborate with other singers and musicians, augmenting the traditional Bad Seeds line-up. Among the guests who accepted Cave's invitation was Australian chanteuse Kylie Minogue who duets with the singer on his haunting and beautiful composition "Where The Wild Roses Grow" Cave also duets with acclaimed singer PJ Harvey on the traditional folk tale 'Henry Lee'. The album closes with a committed performance of Bob Dylan's unjustly neglected classic "Death Is Not The End", boasting verses sung by Shane MacGowan, Anita Lane, Kylie Minogue, PJ Harvey, Blixa Bargeld and the vocal debut of Thomas Wydler.

Producers:  NICK CAVE, THE BAD SEEDS, TONY COHEN and VICTOR VAN VUGT

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
