Shopping For Records #46: Third Batch of Four for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds...

I can't really stress enough about how necessary Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds albums continue to be, so it's good that they're continuing to be reissued.  All the information below is courtesy of EMI:

  

NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS TO RELEASE EXPANDED COLLECTORS EDITIONS OF FOUR CLASSIC ALBUMS ON MAY 17:

Let Love In, Murder Ballads, The Boatman’s Call, and No More Shall We Part

CD/DVD and Digital Packages Feature the Re-mastered Original Albums, Plus Extensive Audio and Video Extras in 5.1 Surround and Stereo

Hollywood, California – February 28, 2011 - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds announce the latest in a series of reissues of their classic albums. Let Love In (1994), Murder Ballads (1996), The Boatman’s Call (1997) and No More Shall We Part (2001) -- their eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh studio albums, respectively -- will be released on May 17, each as a separate deluxe double-disc Collectors Edition.

These latest releases are the third set of reissues from a series that will ultimately see Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ entire album catalogue digitally re-mastered and remixed for 5.1 Surround Sound for the first time since their original release.

Each deluxe double-disc Collectors Edition contains the re-mastered stereo album, the new surround mix, a specially commissioned short film made by UK artists Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, plus b-sides from the singles, videos and exclusive sleeve notes.

The first three consecutive albums in the re-mastered deluxe edition series -- From Her to Eternity, The Firstborn Is Dead, Kicking Against the Pricks -- were released in 2009. The next four in the series -- Your Funeral…My Trial, Tender Prey, The Good Son and Henry's Dream – were released last year. All were received with unanimous critical welcome.
