"Songs are little dangerous bombs of truth" - Nick Cave

Oh yes, it's everyone's favourite gothic Godfather.

Unsurprisingly we're all a bunch of Nick Cave nuts here at Rough Trade so we thought we should share the love with all you wonderful people.

We've discounted some of his greatest work, for a limited time only, to celebrate the release of his jaw-dropping new book <a href="https://www.roughtrade.com/gb/nick-cave-and-sean-o-hagan/faith-hope-carnage">Faith, Hope and Carnage</a>.

And after hours of heated debate we have, somehow, decided which are his best albums. Find out where your favourite finished <a href="https://blog.roughtrade.com/gb/ranked-nick-caves-greatest-albums/">here</a>.

Essential

Vinyl transfer approval overseen by Mick Harvey Summer 2014, cut at Abbey Road studios. Vinyl is Double heavyweight 180 gram vinyl (Side Four is Blank) with Download. Recorded in Melbourne and London, 'Murder Ballads' turned out to be the band's biggest commercial success at the time of its release, garnering much attention from Nick's lethal duet with Kylie Minogue on 'Where The Wild Roses Grow'. Alongside the originals, the album features startling re-workings of traditional songs like 'Stagger Lee' and 'Henry Lee'. Additional guest singers include PJ Harvey and Shane MacGowan.

Remastered Limited CD / DVD set featuring the original album, plus a 5.1 surround sound version, b-sides, promo videos and an installment of 'Do You Love Me Like I Love You', a specially commissioned film by Iain fForsyth and Jane Pollard.
