"I always liked the original B-Sides & Rarities more than any of our other albums," Nick Cave said in a statement. "It’s the only one I’d listen to willingly. It seems more relaxed, even a bit nonsensical in places, but with some beautiful songs throughout. There is something, too, about the smallness of certain songs that is closer to their original spirit. B-Sides & Rarities Part II continues this strange and beautiful collection of lost songs from The Bad Seeds."

The release has so far been previewed with three tracks, including a previously unreleased song titled Vortex, and a rendition of Push the Sky Away performed with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, which you can check out on streaming below.

The original B-Sides & Rarities Part I was released in 2005 - compiled by Mick Harvey it comprises 56 tracks including rarities, outtakes, covers and B-sides from 1988-2005.  It will also be reissued alongside Part II as a Limited Edition Deluxe 7 Vinyl Box Set including 83 rare tracks and exclusive sleeve notes. This is the first time the album has been pressed on vinyl.
