Remastered, remixed and expanded, Manic Street Preachers’ 2001 album Know Your Enemy is set to be released. The album version has been remixed and contains two previously unheard songs. The record will be available digitally, as a 3-CD book set, double CD and double LP from September 9th.
The Manic Street Preachers’ previously unreleased songs are “Studies In Paralysis” and “Rosebud”. An official music video for the latter was only recently released.
Writer Robin Turner has been involved with the band for many years and summarizes the project as follows: “This release is the director’s cut of ‘Know Your Enemy’. The picture was laboriously restored, cleaned, brightened. You don’t aim to replace the original, but you definitely improve on it.” The album can here be pre-ordered.
