Overview Edit

From Her to Eternity is the debut album released by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds in 1984. The title is a pun on the book/movie From Here to Eternity.

The majority of the album was recorded at Trident Studios, London in March 1984. "Saint Huck", "Wings off Flies" and "A Box for Black Paul" were recorded at The Garden between September and October 1983.

The band is seen playing a live performance of the title track in the 1987 Wim Wenders film Wings of Desire. It was recorded at Hansa Studio, Berlin in February 1987.

The album was remastered and reissued on April 27, 2009 as a collector's edition CD/DVD set. The CD features the original 7-song vinyl LP's track listing, while "In the Ghetto," "The Moon Is in the Gutter," and "From Her to Eternity" (1987 version) are featured as bonus audio tracks on the accompanying DVD.

3 stars Its either his best or his worst album
It depends on your point of view. If you like your Cave tuneful then this is not really for you, but if you liked 'The Birthday Party' then buy this.

Blues? Art Rock?) at this point. The cover of 'I…
