For long term Elbow watchers the announcement that \u2018Dead In The Boot\u2019, the often mooted B sides album, is finally due for release on August 27th will be very good news indeed. \r
First talked about around the time of the release of the bands debut album \u2018Asleep in the Back\u2019, \u2018Dead In The Boot\u2019 brings together B-sides and the odd non album track from the band\u2019s thirteen year recording career. \r
\r
The early years are represented by \u2018None One\u2019 from the original \u2018Newborn\u2019 ep released by Uglyman Records in August of 2000 and \u2018Lucky With Disease\u2019 from October of 2001. The band\u2019s most recent work is showcased by \u2018Buffalo Ghosts\u2019 the b side to the limited edition 10\u201d vinyl release of \u2018Open Arms\u2019 last April. \r
\r
In addition there are ten further tracks that demonstrate the depth of Elbow\u2019s songwriting, comprising heart wrenching ballads, loping steel guitar ornamented grooves (\u2018The Long War Shuffle\u2019) and blues drenched howls (\u2018McGreggor\u2019). \r
\r
Mostly self-produced, recording B-sides throughout the years allowed the band to hone their studio skills which in turn led elbow keyboard player Craig Potter to fully produce and mix the bands last two albums. It may be categorised as a B-sides album but \u2018Dead In The Boot\u2019 stands shoulder to shoulder with every other Elbow album released. \r
\r
\u2018The band have always loved B-side land and this is a collection of our favourites. None of our B- sides are album rejects. It\u2019s a different space, usually just post finishing an album when all the members of elbow are chiming and feeling very creative. This gives \u2018Dead in the Boot\u2019 a real late night vibe. My sister came up with the title after we released \u2018Asleep in the Back.\u2019 Some of these songs are the favourites we have ever written. It was important to us that this collection be an album in its own right so for some fans it may seem like there are glaring omissions, but these songs are the ones that hung together perfectly. \u2018 Guy Garvey - Elbow\r

\u2018Dead In The Boot\u2019 is available on jewelcase CD, double gatefold heavyweight vinyl and digital download on August 27th, 2012.
