Make fun of DD all you want, but “Rio” is a KICK ASS album.
Hmm why release those Nick Cave single CDs?
I would have preferred a “Complete Albums” Box Set from Mute with all albums in card sleeves.
Glad I picked up the Nick Cave 2009 remasters when I could, they did a really nice job on the 5.1 mixes.
