not that anyone would give a f**k, considering it IS the Manics after all. worst artwork i've seen in a long time, but the material looks positively worth it (prologue to history!)

The notables are '4 Ever Delayed' (note the crap spelling), which was produced by Steve Osborne and was supposed to have been a single earlier this year but has been held back for this, and 'Judge Y'rself', the long lost contribution to the Judge Dredd film soundtrack. The latter is being touted as 'the last song the Manics wrote as a four-piece' and has been recently remixed by Dave Eringa.

In addition, the album will be available as a double CD (first pressing to be a limited edition digipak) and a limited edition triple vinyl set with a furry sleeve (!). The vinyl will only be available online, three weeks after the CD hits the shops. The band are also putting together exclusive artwork for the set, which will be downloadable from the net.
