In 1984 something new was born out of the ashes of The Birthday Party (Cave"s former band), some scratched old records by southern bluesmen, and the last days of the divided Berlin. The narrative art that Cave had begun to master in the later days of The Birthday Party flourishes on "From Her To Eternity", in the sick humour of "Wings Off Flies" and "A Box For Black Paul". This is where we first see Cave"s lifelong exploration and fascination with the American South in "Swampland".Originally released in 1984 and previously unavailable as a U.S. release, FROM HER TO ETERNITY features the original Bad Seeds lineup, and includes an alternate version of the title track recorded in 1987. This reissue is part of a series that will see the Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds" entire album catalog digitally remastered and remixed in 5.1 surround sound. Each deluxe double-disc collector"s edition contains the remastered stereo album, the new surround mix, a specially commissioned short film made by acclaimed UK artists Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard plus the b-sides from the singles and exclusive sleeve notes.Released April 7th 2009.
