Hey, i just got hold of a live album of some Birthday Party stuff from circa 1981/92 from e-music, its dead good, i was familiar with the works 0f Nick Cave but this has really pleased me. As a late comer to this band anyone got any recommendations for which Birthday Party cd's to check out? and are they going cheap at Fopp, ahhhhhhhhhhhaaaaa!

Everything they did is essential. Including the Peel session releases. Funnily enough theres a fantastic track that was on the B side of RELEASE THE BATS called BLAST OFF. Im sure its on a best of compo. Blast cap - Blast off geddit?! Cave does a 25 second scream that you will no doubt appreciate. I need to go and play it now.

I thought you were actually after advice about throwing a birthday party. I was gonna suggest the Mill of Mundurno and a bouncy castle.

usually i go to storybook Glenn with a carryout and a suitcase of chemicals for that kind of birthday party.

I have that! I really like the Hee Haw disc. Recently got hold of The Boys Next Door's CD it's not too bad really but much easier going than BP.
