Editors Going “Unedited” with New Box Set

If you keep kicking yourself for not picking up anything by British rock group Editors, now’s your chance to get it all in one buy – and then some.

The Birmingham band has recently begun work on their fourth studio album, and has put together a massive compilation of nearly all of their work to date for release in February. Unedited collates the band’s first three albums – 2005’s The Back Room and U.K. chart-toppers An End Has a Start (2007) and In This Light and On This Evening (2009) – along with four discs of B-sides under the title You Are Fading. All of this music will be present on seven CDs and seven vinyl LPs in a 12″ box with a 100-page art book.

Pre-orders are starting now for an estimated February 28 ship date (at which point the You Are Fading compilation will be available as a digital download), and bandleader Tom Smith will provide a personalized surprise for fans in the first 200 orders.
