My Trial''''' is the fourth studio album by the Australian [[Rock music|rock]] band [[Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds]], released on 3 November 1986 by [[Mute Records]]. The album was originally released as a double [[extended play]] (EP), while also issued on CD with a different running order and the additional track "Scum". During this period in his life, Cave was steeped in heroin [[Addiction#Drug addiction|addiction]], perhaps evidenced by the melancholy, desperate mood of this album.<ref name="BBC">{{cite web |first=Chris |last=Long |title=BBC β Music β Review of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds β Your Funeral...

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."<ref>{{cite book | author= Tracee Hutchison | author-link= Tracee Hutchison |title=Your Name's On The Door|page=117|year=1992|publisher=[[Australian Broadcasting Corporation|ABC Enterprises]] |location=Sydney |isbn=0-7333-0115-0}}</ref> ''Your Funeral... My Trial'' was the band's first album to reach the [[ARIA Charts|ARIA Top 100 Albums Chart]], where it peaked at number 98, and also reached number one on the [[UK Independent Singles and Albums Charts|UK Independent Albums Chart]]. The album was remastered and reissued on 27 April 2009 as a collector's edition CD/DVD set. The CD features the original 8-song vinyl double EP's track listing and track order, while "Scum" is featured as a bonus audio track on the accompanying DVD.
