As I posted earlier, it's celebration time for Manic Street Preachers! To pay tribute to the 21st anniversary of their first single issue, the welsh band is releasing an ultimate singles collection on October 31st, named "National Treasures – The Complete Singles"

Among all the classic MSP tracks, "National Treasures" also features a brand new song: it's called "This Is The Day" and it's a cover of the 1983 The The track taken from the synth-noir classic album "Soul Mining". The manic version echoes the original whilst bringing a new dynamic production and their own distinctive sound to the song.
