More Info
Manic Street Preachers release a brand new track to coincide with the release of this, their complete singles collection album. "This is the Day" is a cover of the 1983 The The track taken from the synth-noir classic album Soul Mining. The band have been fans of the group and their version echoes the original whilst bringing a new dynamic production and their own distinctive sound to the song.
National Treasures features the band’s 37 previous single releases from the last 21 years and 10 studio albums. It’s also the first time since 1992’s "Suicide Is Painless" (Theme from M*A*S*H) that the Manics have released a cover version as a single despite recording and playing live many versions of their favourite tracks over the years.
