Re-issue of Nick Cave’s Australian post-punk’s 1982 album Junkyard. It comes remastered by Henry Rollins (in 2000) with a 7″ off Release The Bats / Blast Off and includes a CD of all thye tracks.

The Party’s second and final full studio album was perhaps its scuzzy masterpiece, its art/psych/blues/punk fusion taken to at times outrageous heights. Right from its start, nobody held back on anything, Cave’s now-demonic vocals in full roar while the rest of the players revamped rhythm & blues and funk into a blood-soaked cabaret exorcism. Nearly every tune is a Party classic one way or another…”Blast Off” and “Release the Bats” were originally issued as a single; both seethe with rage and fire in spades. The latter is at once powerful and a bit of a tongue-in-cheek goth goof, with Cave serving up lines like “Don’t tell me that it doesn’t hurt/A hundred fluttering in your skirt.”
