Kultna britanska new wave/alternative grupe Killing Joke sljedeće godine slavi jubilarnih 35 godina osnutka, a tim će povodom 15. travnja objaviti veliku retrospektivnu kompilaciju singlova.
“The Singles Collection: 1979 – 2012” izaći će na nekoliko formata, uključujući standardnu 3CD ediciju na kojoj će se naći sva 33 singla i nikada ranije objavljene pjesme te super-deluxe ediciju s 34 CD diska koju će bend prodavati po cijeni od 216 funti putem platforme PledgeMusic.
Potonja će upakirana u brojčajno označenoj ‘cigaretnoj kutiji’ izrađenoj od crne čvrste daske s mat printom retrospektivnih artworkova na rubovima sadržavati 33 CD singla s odabranim B-stranama umetnutim u košuljice s originalnim artworkom, disk rariteta, uključujući nikada ranije objavljene studijske pjesme, tvrdo ukoričenu knjigu na čije će se 32 stranice rasprostirati rijetke fotografije, arhivski zapisi i komentar benda, poster koji je na materijalu od svile uradio i osobno potpisao dugogodišnji dizajner omota izdanja benda, Mike Coles te brendiranu savijenu cigaretnu tubu od aluminija unutar koje se nalaze originalni opušci koje su potezali frontmen Jaz Coleman i pokojni basist Paul Raven za vrijeme snimanja albuma “Hosannas From The Basements Of Hell” iz 2006. godine.
