Kaiser Chiefs / Employment 20 'China Anniversary' reissue

Kaiser Chiefs celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album Employment with CD and vinyl reissues.

The album features the singles ‘Oh My God’, ‘I Predict A Riot’, and ‘Everyday I Love You Less And Less’, all of which were top ten hits in the UK, as well as Modern Way which peaked at No 11.

These ‘China Anniversary’ formats (so called because China is the traditional gift for a 20th wedding anniversary) include a very generous 3CD deluxe edition which offers more than 40 tracks, over and above the album, including previously unreleased demo recordings, remixes, radio sessions, and a selection of live tracks. This bonus material was curated by the band from their own archive.

A 2LP vinyl set has the album on LP 1 with a selection of the rarities on the second LP, including two previously unreleased songs (‘Formative Years’ and ‘Don’t Get Me Wrong’) which are exclusive to this format (i.e. they’re not on the 3CD set – a bit naughty). The original album has been remastered at Abbey Road Studios.

Employment will be reissued on 18 July 2025 via UMR/Polydor.
