What the label says:

The two album set, "Abattoir Blues / The Lyre Of Orpheus" - Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds' thirteenth studio album and the follow up to 2003's "Nocturama" - released 20th September 2004."Abattoir Blues / The Lyre Of Orpheus" is the very first two album set of entirely new studio recordings ever released by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds, as well as the first Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds album recorded without guitarist Blixa Bargeld.In a continuation of the "Nocturama" sessions this two album set sees all The Bad Seeds deeply involved in the recording process. The ubiquitous Mick Harvey does all guitar work on these recordings. Warren Ellis takes on mandolin and Irish bouzouki in addition to violin. Jim Sclavunos and Thomas Wydler equally share drum duties, with bassist Martyn P. Casey completing the rhythm section. Conway Savage and Nick Cave trade off on piano and the Bad Seeds' newest recruit, James Johnston (Gallon Drunk), makes his debut playing organ.
"Abattoir Blues / The Lyre Of Orpheus" was recorded by Nick Launay at Studio Ferber in Paris in Spring 2004. The album was produced by Nick Launay and Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds and mixed at Astoria in London.

Producers:  Nick Launay and Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
