Back in March, Placebo announced dates for a world tour in celebration of its 20th anniversary. Now comes news that Placebo will also be celebrating the anniversary with the release of a new retrospective collection A Place For Us To Dream - 20 Years Of Placebo along with a brand new EP titled Life's What You Make It.
A Place For Us To Dream features 36 songs -- many are radio edits of the band's classic tracks, but several rare(r) versions of some songs are also included, such as "Without You I'm Nothing" featuring David Bowie on backup vocals, "Broken Promise" featuring Michael Stipe, and a newly recorded version of "36 Degrees." Both the LP editions and double CD of A Place For Us To Dream come with a collection of never-before-seen photos from the band's 20 year career.
Meanwhile the vinyl only EP Life's What You Make It features six previously unreleased tracks including the a cover of the Talk Talk classic "Life's What You Make It."
A Place For Us To Dream - 20 Years Of Placebo and Life's What You Make It EP will be released October 7th. The greatest hits collection and EP are sold separately, though some of the A Place To Dream bundles include a 7" of two tracks from the EP.
