King Ink

Nick Cave

Black Spring Press Ltd, UK. 1989. First reprint hardback. Dust jacket has some rubbing, and the book has a bookplate from it's former owner. Otherwise, pristine. An excellent copy.

This book includes almost all lyrics of The Birthday Party and the Bad Seeds, also some prose pieces, and a series of plays all capturing Cave's bleak gothic worldview. This is the rarer English edition, before Rollins got his hands on this material. If you're a Nick Cave fan, you know what you have to do. Amazing stuff.
