Anche se il primo “B-sides And Rarities” di Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds è uscito ormai 16 anni or sono verrà nuovamente pubblicato in occasione dell’uscita del secondo capitolo dal medesimo titolo.

“B-sides And Rarities II” uscirà il 22 ottobre per BMG sia come uscita distinta che all’interno del box-set in edizione limitata contenente entrambi i capitoli per un totale di ben 83 brani.

Cave ha così commentato:

Mi è sempre piaciuto l’originale B-Sides & Rarities più di ogni altro nostro album. È l’unico album che ascolterei volentieri. Sembra più rilassato, anche un po’ insensato in alcuni punti, ma con belle canzoni ovunque. C’è anche qualcosa, nella piccolezza di certe canzoni che è più vicino al loro spirito originale. B-Sides & Rarities Part II continua questa strana e bellissima raccolta di canzoni perdute dei The Bad Seeds. Amo il lato finale dell’ultimo disco perché rivela i piccoli e fragili inizi di alcune delle mie canzoni preferite dei Bad Seeds. ‘Waiting For You’ completa di una particolare traccia ritmica, una splendida ‘Life Per Se’ ritenuta troppo triste per Skeleton Tree, e ‘Earthlings’ che alcuni considerano la traccia più bella delle sessioni di Ghosteen.

Di seguito trovate l’inedito Vortex assieme a copertina e tracklist completa del cofanetto.
