Manic Street Preachers - Journal For Plague Lovers

Vinyl - N/M

Sleeve - N/M

We have this rare gem as our Record Of The Day. 

Released in 2009, this critically acclaimed record stands as one of the band’s most powerful and uncompromising works.

Journal for Plague Lovers holds a unique place in the Manic Street Preachers’ discography. Every lyric on the album was taken from notebooks left behind by former guitarist and lyricist Richey Edwards, who disappeared in 1995. Rather than attempting to recreate the band’s past, the remaining members transformed his words into a bold, contemporary rock album that feels both personal and timeless.

The striking cover art painted by acclaimed British artist Jenny Saville is as unforgettable as the music itself.

More than fifteen years after its release, Journal for Plague Lovers remains one of the Manic Street Preachers’ most compelling albums.
