The Manic Street Preachers‘ latest reissue will be their 1993 second album Gold Against The Soul.
From June 12th, it’ll come with a 120 page A4 book featuring unseen images, many annotated by Nicky Wire, and original typed and handwritten lyrics from the band’s archive. The 2CD will feature the album remastered complete with previously unreleased demos, b-sides, remixes and a live cover of The Clash’s What’s My Name.
“We moved our studio a few years ago and I unearthed a lot of demos and pictures from the Gold Against The Soul era and thought it would be a shame not to let them see the light of day, Nicky Wire says.
“We haven’t always been the most complementary about this album in the past, but with hindsight it was a strange and curious record with many fans’ favourites on it. James always gets a huge response when he teases the riff to Sleepflower live.”
