Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds The Good Son Vinyl LP Remastered

Reissued in 2015 by Mute Records and BMG, The Good Son marks a stylistic shift for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, embracing a more melodic and introspective tone. Inspired by Cave’s time in Brazil and his relationship with journalist Viviane Carneiro, the album features gospel-infused arrangements, haunting ballads, and poetic lyricism. This remastered LP edition includes a printed inner sleeve and was pressed by Optimal Media GmbH.
