Manic Street Preachers / Holy Bible 20: five-disc deluxe box with vinyl

Next month the Manic Street Preachers will reissue their 1994 album The Holy Bible as a five-disc deluxe box that will include a vinyl pressing of the album – the first time it has been issued on LP since 1994 (when it was only released as a limited edition picture disc).

The Holy Bible 20 is a four-CD + LP set that will include remastered versions of the full album, the US Mix of the album, a disc of B-side, mixes and live versions (including a previously unreleased version of Revol) and a live CD of the band’s last performance with guitarist Richey Edwards from the Astoria on December 1994. Some acoustic tracks recently recorded for a BBC Radio 4 Mastertapes session (not yet broadcast) complete the content.

As well as the vinyl and CDs, the 12″ x 12″ deluxe box set contains a hardcover book with rare, previously unseen images, including exclusive photos by Mitch Ikeda, handwritten lyrics, sleeve notes from Keith Cameron and notes from the band.

The first 1000 copies of The Holy Bible 20 box set bought from the Manics’ online store will include a copy of the book SIGNED by the band! (update 6/11/14 – now sold out).

The Holy Bible 20 is released on 8 December 2014.
