"AND THE ASS SAW THE ANGEL"

Keeping with Mute'stradition of making sure music is made readily available for those whowant it, here's the US version of "And the Ass Saw the Angel."
Thefirst four tracks are Nick Cave spoken word bits - reading from his1988 book "And the Ass Saw the Angel," originally released as a bonusdisc to 'Tender Prey.' The rest is instrumental "theatre music"recorded by Bad Seeds Mick Harvey and Ed Clayton-Jones to accompany aproduction in Melbourne from 1993. While it's good for the fans to ownsomething like this, it's not something I'd personally be pulling fromthe shelves to listen to from time to time in all honesty. Thanks do goout to Mute for keeping this in print and making it available not frommail order only.
