Here is a little bit of what my Armchair Guide to Nick Cave says about the Boots single:

"A limited edition (1,000-1,500 copies). Nancy Sinatra may have created kitsch with 'These Boots Are Made For Walking,' but Cave's snotty, off-key version served as a fitting recorded debut for the Boys Next Door...'Boots' was present in the band's live set, and Cave averred that 'we used to play that song, and I think they considered it to be a favourite for us to record.' In an interview in 1983, Rowland S. Howard recounted how neither he nor the band were particularly enthused by the song's selection. 'That was sort of a record company idea more than anyone else's.'"
