Spanning thirty years of music from their debut album From Her To Eternity through their 15th studio album Push The Sky Away, the collection navigates one of the most exhilarating, idiosyncratic and inventive bodies of work created in contemporary music.

Said Nick Cave, "There are some people out there who just don't know where to start with The Bad Seeds. Others know the catalog better than I do! This release is designed to be a way into three decades of music making. That's a lot of songs. The songs we have chosen are the ones that have stuck around, for whatever reason. Some songs are those that demand to be played live. Others are lesser songs that are personal favourites of ours. Others are just too big and have too much history to leave out. And there are those that didn't make it, poor things. They are the ones you must discover by yourselves.”

Compiled by Nick Cave and founding member Mick Harvey, with help from the current Bad Seeds, band members past and present raided their personal archives to provide previously unseen photos and memorabilia which have been collected into a beautiful hardcover book, along with a series of original essays. The book is available as part of the limited edition Super Deluxe album collection that also comes with a two hour DVD containing rare and unseen archive footage. Lovely Creatures is available in four formats, all featuring personal and rare photographs of the band: Standard CD, Triple LP, Deluxe 3CD with DVD, and the Super Deluxe Limited Edition box set featuring 3 CDs, two hour DVD, and a hardcover book containing original essays, candid and personal photos taken by the band family and friends, and reproductions of band memorabilia.
