New Manic Street Preachers The Holy Bible 20th Anniversary Box set, Limited Edition

This item is brand new and shrink wrapped.

This listing is for a new copy of Manic Street Preachers The Holy Bible 20th Anniversary Box set, Limited Edition

On its release in 1994, in many eyes, ‘The Holy Bible’ elevated Manic Street Preachers from being a fascinating, yet flawed rock band with more mission statements than melodies, to an immense intellectual colossus with razor sharp, post-punk tunes that stood out from their contemporaries.  In a year that saw Britpop dominate the radio and press, ‘The Holy Bible’ tackled subjects such as the Holocaust, the Brady Bill, anorexia, political correctness and other non-chart friendly topics.  From the Jenny Saville artwork on the sleeve to the opening single ‘Faster’ with singer James Dean Bradfield appearing on Top of the Pops in a balaclava prompting thousands of complaints, this was clearly an album not to be dismissed as just the Manics’ third album – it was their masterpiece. 

The limited edition 12” x 12” box contains the original album on 180gm heavyweight vinyl (on vinyl for the first time since a limited run in 1994), remastered by James Dean Bradfield,  plus 4 CDs and a 40 page book.  The CD’s contain the remastered full album, the remastered US version, b-sides, mixes,  live versions and a previously unreleased version of ‘Revol’. There is also a live CD of the band’s last performances with guitarist Richey Edwards from the Astoria, December 1994.  It is rounded up with a few acoustic tracks from the album from a recent BBC Radio 4 Mastertapes session the band recorded at Maida Vale in September 2014.

Limited edition deluxe 12” x 12” box set containing the original album remastered by James Dean Bradfield and Tim Young on 180gm vinyl.

The box also includes:

- CD1 The Holy Bible (Remastered)

- CD2 The Holy Bible (US Mix) (Remastered)

- CD3 B Sides

- CD4 Live Featuring the band’s seminal ’94 Astoria show recorded by the BBC and a collection of incredible acoustic performances recorded at the band’s recent Radio 4 Mastertapes session, bringing the band’s history full circle from 1994 to 2014

- 40 page 12” book Including rare photos and imagery, handwritten lyrics and notes from Richey and much more

Information regarding 'The Holy Bible' 20th Anniversary Edition: To improve and enhance audio quality, the song "4st 7lbs" has been moved to track 1 on side 2 of the LP. It was a last minute decision so those lucky people receiving the first run of 'Holy Bible' box sets will be getting a rare collectors edition where the tracklisting shows "4st 7lbs" as the last track on side 1 (as per the original 1994 vinyl cut).
