Last month, Island/UMe released all seven of The Killers' albums in one complete box set for the first time titled The Killers Career Vinyl Box.
It is available at retail outlets in an across-the-board 180-gram black vinyl configuration, in addition to a limited-edition 180-gram clear vinyl version. A slip mat featuring the “K” from the band’s logo and inspired by the vintage lights of the Las Vegas strip completes both packages.
Starting off the collection is The Killers’ three-times-platinum June 2004 debut album, Hot Fuss featuring hit debut single “Mr. Brightside,” plus “Smile Like You Mean It” and “Somebody Told Me.”
2006’s Sam’s Town, was produced by Flood (New Order, U2), Alan Moulder (NIN, Foo Fighters), and The Killers, and it includes the singles “When You Were Young” and “Read My Mind.”
Coming a year later, Sawdust, consists of B-sides, covers, remixes, and other rarities, including the band’s cover of Joy Division’s “Shadowplay,” a live favorite, and “Tranquilize,” the latter with Lou Reed.
In 2008 came Day & Age, the band’s fourth studio album, produced by Stuart Price (Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Pet Shop Boys) and The Killers, and it includes the singles “Human” and “Spaceman.”
Live From The Royal Albert Hall is a 2LP and exclusive to the Career Vinyl Box. Originally released in November 2009 as a live DVD, this double album came from two July 2009 gigs at the storied London venue.
September 2012 saw The Killers’ put forth their million-selling sixth album, Battle Born, which was named after their own recording studio as well as for a phrase that appears on the Nevada state flag. Battle Born contains “Runaways” and “Miss Atomic Bomb.”
The Killers’ most recent studio effort, last year's Island release Wonderful Wonderful, saw the band once again debuting at the apex of the album charts in both the U.S., the UK and Australia. Wonderful Wonderful also carries the distinction of being the band’s fifth consecutive UK chart-topper overall, and it’s buttressed by “The Man” and “Run For Cover.”
