Gaslight Anthem Box Up Early Singles on Vinyl

April 12, 2013 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

tgaboxset2storeNew Jersey rockers The Gaslight Anthem are commemorating some of their early indie works by releasing a deluxe vinyl singles box set this summer.

Anchored by singer/songwriter Brian Fallon, the band has deftly mixed a number of rock subgenres into one of the most-talked about acts on the rock scene today, from Clash and Replacements-esque punk to Pearl Jam's post-grunge output. But, whether by virtue of their New Brunswick, New Jersey roots or something else entirely, one name continues to be bought up in comparison to The Gaslight Anthem: Bruce Springsteen. And their heart-on-sleeve delivery and colorful storytelling has earned them more than comparisons to The Boss - they've earned his respect. Sales of the band's sophomore album, The '59 Sound, skyrocketed in 2009 after Springsteen joined the band onstage at England's Glastonbury Festival. And their latest LP, 2012's Handwritten (their first for Mercury Records), was produced by none other than Brendan O'Brien, who won a Grammy helming Bruce Springsteen's The Rising (for the sake of hero comparison, he's also worked with Pearl Jam as a producer or mixer on nearly every album of theirs since 1993's Vs.)

Singles Collection 2008-2011 compiles nine 7" discs from their time on SideOneDummy Records, who released their breakthrough discs The '59 Sound (2008) and American Slang (2010). In addition to signature tunes like "The '59 Sound," "Boxer" and "The Diamond Street Church Choir," each disc also features an original B-side, mostly live and acoustic versions as well as covers of everyone from late '90s/early '00s soul band Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise ("Once Upon a Time") to The Rolling Stones' "Tumbling Dice."

Packed in a wooden box with a bonus 45 adapter featuring the band's "Queen of Chelsea" artwork, this set is available to order from SideOneDummy on either plain black or blood red vinyl. It's available June 18, and can be checked out further after the jump.
