Description
Following the release of the award-winning Holy Bible 20 box set in 2014, comes the reissue of the original album on standalone vinyl.
Originally released as a strictly limited edition picture disc in 1994, this is the first time The Holy Bible has ever been available on standard vinyl so will be a must-have for Manics fans and collectors.
On its release in 1994, in many eyes, The Holy Bible elevated Manic Street Preachers from being a fascinating, yet flawed rock band with more mission statements than melodies, to an immense intellectual colossus with razor sharp, post-punk tunes that stood out from their contemporaries. In a year that saw Britpop dominate the radio and press, The Holy Bible tackled subjects such as the Holocaust, the Brady Bill, anorexia, political correctness and other non-chart friendly topics. From the Jenny Saville artwork on the sleeve to the opening single Faster with singer James Dean Bradfield appearing on Top of the Pops in a balaclava prompting thousands of complaints, this was clearly an album not to be dismissed as just the Manics third album it was their masterpiece.
