Guest Mr Blastcap Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 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!

framheim Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 if you haven't already, get junkyard. tis a great album. the live dvd is worth checking out as well. generally all birthday party stuff is good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF Scott Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 junkyard or prayers on fire are the best albums to go for, that live one you've bought is my favourite though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluesxman Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 The Mutiny/Bad Seed EP CD is also pretty essential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betamax Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teabags Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I thought you were actually after advice about throwing a birthday party. I was gonna suggest the Mill of Mundurno and a bouncy castle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently got hold of The Boys Next Door's CD it's not too bad really but much easier going than BP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neill Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 The Mutiny/Bad Seed EP CD is also pretty essential.I would second this as Mutiny in Heaven would be may favourite BP trackor Nick The Stripper 12" if you can find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
