National Treasures - The Singles Collection Thread

[Industrial Symphony No.1]

Is there not going to be a DVD with a new Karl Marx intro?

I was messing about in Gimp, and I created this.



I'd love the Singles boxset to be about as big as the PFAYM mementos box, but I'd want to height of it to be smaller.

No Nic Cage? FAIL

As long as you weren't messing around with a gimp.

Yeah....

Hell, at the end of the day, it's something new in the Manics world and I'll buy it. Hope there is a DVD plus we'll have the Nicky photo book in November so it'll be a good period for Manics fans

Well it is coming out on normal CD as well, the boxset is just a super special edition thingy (if it even happens).

Now all we need to clear up is whether PFAYM will be on there. With these new additions I'm starting to think it's best to leave off PCP after all. Otherwise we might be back in dreaded edit territory. Knowing them, they'll edit for the sake of editing anyway. All editing should be restricted to Autumnsong this time. By my reckoning, there's about three minutes and forty seconds that they cut off that one.

I was just reading this thread through and before this had wondered if one new song would crop up. Hopefully it will be a great enough song for single status to go amongst the rest - something a bit more substantial than 4 Ever Delayed (though I like that song).

I'd suggest they put every associated b-side and remix on to each disc, and then if only there was a demo for every single - particularly if there were demos we'd never heard before.

The first post already mentioned a new song.

New songs on the album ?

"A cover version: probably something by The Prisoners, The Wedding Present or The The."

Yeah, why would they release everything but that one? Seems strange.

That would be a lot of songs!

If they are doing this I think it seems silly to leave off Suicide Alley and New Art Riot.

[2004567]

New Art Riot is probably my favourite Manics EP/single so I would've liked if they kept it on.

Otherwise, this singles thing annoys me, unless they have a bigger box for future singles. Then another box for more singles if the box is full. If their going to have it complete, they should have released this with Suicide Alley and New Art Riot and they should release it after they split up.

[Dancing Kirby]

From what I can tell, Damaged Goods have never given Sony the rights to New Art Riot, which is why the live version of Strip It Down appeared on Lipstick Traces.

Oh, that's why then, thought there was something to do with copyright.
