Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds chronology
Henry's Dream (1992) Live Seeds (1993) Let Love In (1994)

Live Seeds is the first official live Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds album, including the never-studio-recorded "Plain Gold Ring", a cover of a Nina Simone song. It was recorded live, at various concerts throughout Europe and Australia, during the touring stage after the release of Henry's Dream in 1992-1993 and was intended to give the songs a raw feeling, as Nick Cave originally intended for that album before producing problems occurred.
