Your Funeral… My Trial is the fourth studio album by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, released on 3 November 1986 by Mute Records. Your Funeral… My Trial was originally released as a double EP. The album was issued on CD with a different running order and the bonus track “Scum”. During this period in his life, Cave was steeped in heroin addiction, perhaps evidenced by the melancholy, desperate mood of this album.[7][8]
Cave later said, “That particular record, which is my favourite of the records we’ve done, is very special to me and a lot of amazing things happened, musically, in the studio. There are some songs on that record that as far as I’m concerned are just about perfect as we can get really- songs like “The Carny”, “Your Funeral, My Trial”, and “Stranger Than Kindness”, I think are really quite brilliant.”
