Description

This 2022 reissue of Know Your Enemy is a radically reimagined version of the Manic Street Preachers’ 2001 album. Originally intended as two distinct records—Solidarity and Door to the River—this edition finally presents the albums as the band had envisioned. Each LP has been remixed and reconstructed from the original tapes by James Dean Bradfield and longtime collaborator Dave Eringa. Pressed on 180g black vinyl and housed in a gatefold sleeve with spot gloss varnish, this edition includes restored artwork and new liner notes by Robin Turner.
