Manics compilation on the way

Marking the 21st Anniversary of their first ever single release, Manic Street Preachers have just announced their plan to release a brand new singles compilation in October.

Entitled National Treasures, the compilation will feature 28 singles from that first release right up to last year's Postcards From A Young Man album. A brand new single will also be included.

In 1990, the Manics released 'Motown Junk' on Heavenly Records – anyone who caught their recent performance at Oxegen will know the years have done nothing to dim the song's original punch.
