WELSH fans of Blackwood band the Manic Street Preachers queued to buy copies of the greatest hits album Forever Delayed from midnight.
The first 30 fans through the doors at Cardiff's Virgin Magastore received a signed pack of exclusive limited edition Manics' postcards, as depicted on the cover sleeve.
Forever Delayed is available everywhere from today and features tracks from their 13-year career, which has brought 28 Top 40 hits.
This includes their latest single There By The Grace Of God, which hit the charts at number six last week.
A total of 1,000 fans braved the elements to meet the band face-to-face earlier this month to get their hands on signed copies of There By The Grace of God at the Cardiff store.
The band then went on to play a warm-up set for the Wales versus Italy football match at the Millennium Stadium.
