Product description

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' "The Boatman's Call" is a profound and intimate exploration of the human condition, released in March 1997. This tenth studio album marks a significant departure from the band's earlier post-punk roots, offering a deeply personal and piano-driven journey. The album's somber and romantic mood is set from the very first note, with Nick Cave's distinctive vocals and poetic lyrics taking center stage.

Recorded at Sarm West Studios in London, "The Boatman's Call" features a stripped-down, piano-based sound that allows Cave's storytelling to shine. The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Into My Arms," a track that sets the tone for the introspective and reflective journey that follows. Other standout tracks include the romantic "Lime Tree Arbour," the existential "People Ain't No Good," and the hopeful "Green Eyes."

The album's production, handled by Flood and Nick Cave himself, is meticulous and understated, allowing the raw emotion and vulnerability of the songs to come to the fore. The result is an album that is as powerful in its simplicity as it is in its depth. "The Boatman's Call" is a testament to Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' enduring artistry and their ability to evolve and innovate with each release. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to their music, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression.

This 2017 Limited Edition Numbered Reissue Repress LP is pressed on Black vinyl.

  • Ultrasonic Cleaning Needed

    4 out of 5 stars
    XbabTasUADecember 29, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This album could seriously benefit from a deep ultrasonic clean, maybe even two times! The mastering, production, and mix are absolutely top-notch. Cave truly shines on this one.

  • Vibrant, Flawless Vinyl Sound

    5 out of 5 stars
    vtoilxvdedskadDecember 6, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Gorgeous pressing. Absolutely no surface noise, spotless pressing with vibrant sound. It's leagues better than the digital version when it comes to listening pleasure and sound quality.

  • Vinyl Quality and Sound Excellence

    4 out of 5 stars
    sajakuqwogwuNovember 13, 2025United States🇺🇸

    The pressing is above par, the vinyl is flat, and it plays with a minor, occasional hiss/crackle that's only noticeable when you're really listening hard and there's no distortion (I reckon I've only cleaned it once, I'll give it another go). The audio is superb, with a great sense of space, and the vocals and instruments are detailed and clear, making it a joy to listen to. The artwork is top-notch and visually appealing. I own the original CD, and I'm thrilled with the vinyl version—it's an album I keep coming back to. I'd definitely recommend it. Enjoy...Played on: Technics SL-100C, Ortofon Concorde Music Bronze, Rega Fono MM MK5, Technics SU-G700M2, Yamaha NS-777, Vinyl Cleaner Pro-Ject VC-E

    Funny how it's only supposed to be 100 copies, but 124 folks have it.

  • Lucky Clean Copy

    giwjuanaolaqSeptember 8, 2025United States🇺🇸

    I decided to give this a wipe down before playing, considering all the past feedback. But, much to my surprise, my copy was nearly spotless right out of the packaging, with clear dynamics and no muffling throughout. I must've gotten lucky with this one!
