Killers Box Up 'Hot Fuss' Singles


Killers
Having already reissued its Island debut, "Hot Fuss" in an expanded edition, the Killers will on Nov. 22 offer a boxed set featuring individual 7-inch vinyl singles for every track on the album. The package will be limited to 5,000 copies worldwide.

Each single is backed with a rarity or B-side; "All These Things That I've Done" features a cover of Morrissey's "Why Don't You Find Out for Yourself," while "Believe Me Natalie" includes an acoustic rendition of "Smile Like You Mean It."




Among the other B-sides are remixes of the hits "Somebody Told Me" and "Mr. Brightside" and the non-album cuts "The Ballad of Michael Valentine," "Under the Gun" and "Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll," which previously appeared on the expanded edition of "Hot Fuss."

That album has sold 2.6 million copies in the United States since its 2004 release. Having recently completed touring in support of the set, the Killers have begun work on their sophomore set, expected sometime in 2006.

Here is the track list for the boxed set:
