Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Ship Song [12 MUTE 108 UK 1990 24-Bit FLAC] I'd admit that the very first time I heard The Ship Song , I thought it was a cover version of some old trad. or blues song - it is a Cave original and marked (for me) the transition from the angry man of alternative rock to the evocative and influential artist he is regarded as today.

Nick Cave Featuring The Bad Seeds - In The Ghetto [7 MUTE 032 UK 1984 24-Bit FLAC] I was lucky to be in the audience for one of Nick Cave's first solo outings, then as Nick Cave & The Cave Men at Manchester's Hacienda in the summer of 1984. I stood there in awe as Cave strutted his stuff on the narrow FAC51 stage before me and I was transfixed as Blixa Bargeld strangled a series of complex, twisted chords from a Fender.  This was the single released just before those live dates and is likely the best Elvis Presley cover ever  A1 In The Ghetto B1 The Moon Is In The Gutter
