Murder Ballads

Released 1996Alternative & Indie
Deep cut

A darkly funny collection of violent narratives, home to a famous Kylie duet. Bold and beloved. A cult favourite. Released in 1996, it's an early landmark for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
