Cave Commerce

Where to get your next fix

Where to get some items depends on what you want in the first place. This page is not here to list every rinky-dink little music shop that has Henry's Dream in the back, under a pile of Carpenter's vinyl. I want places that are distributors of hard to find Cave related items. If you can help out, let me know.

Books


Nick Cave (A Biography)

There are a few "first printing" copies of this book available, directly from the *author*. Payments should be made by mail money order or cash (no coins), but a money order is most advisable in Italy. An image of the front cover is available. The book also includes a CD of Nick reading from "And The Ass Saw The Angel". Please e-mail the author first to work out the shipping charges.

Ghosts of the Civil Dead

While Ghost of the Civil Dead may not be distributed in the US, a place called Facets Multimedia in Chicago may be able to find it for a price. They deal in obscure titles and used to rent movies via mailorder. I'm not sure if they do that anymore though. I searched for their Web page and all it really contains is their address and phone number as follows:

Facets Multimedia
1517 W Fullerton
Chicago, Illinois, 60614-2087

Phone: (773) 281-4114

Snipped from a random e-mail: ...Forbidden Books and Video in Dallas, (Texas?) rents "Ghosts of the Civil Dead"...


The Road to God Knows Where

www.sessions.com (800-637-9239) has "The Road to God Knows Where" for $24.95 US. It's catalogue number 2NMVO1. They also carry EN's "Halber Mensch" for the same price (cat # ENMVO1).

CDNow stocks "Pleasure Heads Must Burn" for $15.95, and may have "Live at the Paradiso" as well.

For the Americans out there who have had trouble finding this, it can be ordered from: http://www.vsom.com/ It's $25.00 - use the search engine and type "ghosts of civil dead" and it should come up. I've had several friends order from this company and they've never had any problems.

More Information on Nick's film career is available.

Collector's Recordings

Joe Franke had a number of items from his personal collection of Birthday Party and NC&tBS eras, which he put on sale when he opened his store. I forwarded his list onto the Goodson list and a few of the items were sold quickly. He has some stuff left as of June 98.
