Manic Street Preachers / Lifeblood 20th anniversary reissue

Manic Street Preachers will reissue their 2004 album Lifeblood in April for its 20th anniversary.

Described by Nicky Wire as “our most estranged album of all” the band’s seventh studio long-player features the singles ‘For The Love Of Richard Nixon’ and ‘Empty Souls’ and will be available on four physical formats.

A 3CD deluxe bookset features a newly remastered version of the album on the first disc (overseen by James Dean Bradfield) and the B-sides and extra tracks (including Japan-only ‘Antarctic’ and ‘The Soulmates’) collected on the second CD. There is also a new ‘extended eighties mix’ of 1985 remixed by Steven Wilson and a Gwenno Mix of the same song. The final disc in this set offers unreleased demos, alternate Tony Visconti mixes and live tracks.

The 2LP vinyl edition is album-only but is available in two variants: black or indie-exclusive red vinyl. The single CD edition appends those two remixes of ‘1985’ to the remastered album.

Lifeblood is reissued on 12 April 2024 via Sony Music.
