The universally panned greatest hits from the Manic Street Preachers has a DVD sister out next Monday.
Manic Street Preachers: Forever Delayed has videos for all the singles on the 'best of' plus a second DVD or video with remixed tunes.
The remixes are accompanied by artwork and other Manics visual aids which have been shown as backdrops at the band's live shows.
The 'best of' album has been criticised for only featuring the band's more commercial, popularist songs while leaving the angst-ridden numbers of the past.
But fans have lapped up the offering, which sports one new single, the most excellent In Grace We Will Suffer, which sees the Manics take on an 80s goth tone.
The visual side to the band is given some well-needed attention in a new book, also titled Forever Delayed, out later in the winter.
The limited edition, autographed volume contains photographs taken by Mitch Ikeda who has followed the band through their history.
To commemorate the launch of this book a strictly limited quantity will be made available in November as a 240 page hardback edition personally signed by the band, also containing a 960x700mm screen print and a 8inx10in photo print signed by Mitch Ikeda.
Get thee to www.manics.co.uk to stand a chance of getting your Manics obsessive mitts on this goodie!
The tour of the album, DVD and book calls on Cardiff International Arena on Sunday and Monday December 15 and 16.
In the meantime the Manics play their dubiously located 'homecoming' gig in St Davids Hall, Cardiff, on Monday November 18.
