Manic Street Preachers announce 'Gold Against The Soul' deluxe reissue
It's released this summer
Manic Street Preachers will release a deluxe edition of their second studio album ‘Gold Against The Soul’ on Friday 12th June 2020.
Originally released on 21st June 1993, the follow-up to Manic Street Preachers’ seminal debut album ‘Generation Terrorists’ peaked at number 8 on the UK album chart and spawned the singles ‘From Despair To Where’, ‘La Tristesse Durera (Scream to a Sigh)’, ‘Roses in the Hospital’ and ‘Life Becoming a Landslide’.
Available to pre-order right now, the ‘Gold Against The Soul’ reissue is available to buy as a deluxe CD book costing £45. It features a limited edition, 120-page hardbound A4 book, featuring incredible unseen images from the band’s long-time photographic collaborator Mitch Ikeda, annotated by Nicky Wire plus handwritten lyric sheets.
The book also includes 2 CDs comprising the original album plus 11 previously unheard tracks across demos, b sides, remixes and a live recording of the Clash track ‘What’s My Name’, all remastered by James Dean Bradfield.
A vinyl edition costing £20 will feature the remastered album together with the download codes to the extra tracks on CD1 and a digital version featuring all the songs.
For the keen Manic Street Preachers aficionados, there is also a series of T-shirt and album packages (ranging in price from £40 to £80) plus a CD book and LP edition for £65.
All editions of the album are available to buy signed (while stocks last) from Manic Street Preachers’ official store.
Last week, Manic Street Preachers were added to the Victorious Festival line-up.
