	My guess is that the book will contain some nice-ish photos and the descriptions of each single that the FB-page is posting daily now (+ maybe a few words by someone old NME-journalist or so):

	THE SINGLES COLLECTION (2013)
CD1: Nervous System / Turn To Red
Nervous System is Killing Joke's first single, released in December, 1979, shortly after the release of their Almost Red EP. Nervous System originally appeared on their debutEP, Turn to Red, and was released as a 7" single. Both 7" promo and non-promo singles were released under Island Records with different album covers. The non-promo featured the same album cover as the Almost Red EP (different title), and the promo was an Island Record factory cover.
A. Nervous System (4'10)
B. Turn To Red (4'10)


CD2: Wardance / Pssyche
Wardance is Killing Joke's first single from their debut album Killing Joke. It was released under Malicious Damage in February, 1980 as a 7" single. A small number of copies from the original Malicious Damage pressing came with a pre-typed folded form comprising military 'call-up papers' to be filled out and submitted by the purchaser. Near mint copies, in their picture sleeve with this insert in undamaged condition, sell at high prices in the collector's market. The B-side, "Pssyche", is commonly played live.
A. Wardance (3'40)
B. Pssyche (5'02)

CD3: Requiem / Change
"Requiem" is Killing Joke's second official single from their 1980 album Killing Joke. The single was originally released under E'G Records as a 12" single and featured the song Change as a B-side, a previous unofficial single. That same year, E'G Records released a 7" version of the single, exempting the demo version of "Requiem". Polydor also released this single as a 7" single only in Italy.

The A-side for the 12" single included a live version of "The Fall of Because", originally off their second studio album, What's THIS For...!. The B-side, "Dominator", originally off Fire Dances, was produced as two different versions, apart from the original: "Dominator" (version) and "Dominator". Both songs appeared on separate singles; 12" and 7" respectively. "Dominator" (version) later appeared on the 2008 CD reissue of Fire Dances. The B-side for the 7" release, "Dominator", apart from the original studio version, was not reprised for the CD. Instead, another version of "Dominator", from the John Peel Session of 1983, was featured. The single reached number fifty-one in the UK Singles Chart in 1983.

The B-side for the 12" and 7" single featured "Feast of Blaze", originally off their fourth studio album, Fire Dances. However, only the 12" featured the track "Wilful Days" as a B-side. The limited double vinyl 7" single featured "Wilful Days" as a C-Side with a blank D-side. Both "Wilful Days" and "Me or You?" later appeared on the 2008 reissue of Fire Dances, along with the John Peel Session version of "Wilful Days".

"Eighties" is Killing Joke's first single from their fifth studio album, Night Time.

The 12" single A-side featured the track "Eighties (Serious Dance Mix)" with "Eighties" and "Eighties (The Coming Mix)" as B-sides. The 7" single exempted the "Serious Dance Mix" and instead, featured "Eighties" as the A-side. Also, the 7" single was sold with a bonus 7" single of "Let's All Go (to the Fire Dances)". The single reached number sixty in the UK Singles Chart, but received less recognition than the 1992 song "Come as You Are" by the US band Nirvana, which had a similar riff. A short snippet of "Eighties" was the opening theme to the short-lived 2002 Fox sitcom That '80s Show.

This is the first non-album single by Killing Joke to produce a music video. The 12" single featured a dub mix of "A New Day" as an A-side, and "A New Day" was a B-Side. The 7" single featured a shorter version of "A New Day" as an A-Side and "Dance Day" was a B-Side. A completely different version of "A New Day", which was not a mix, later appeared on the 2008 reissue of Killing Joke's fifth studio album, Night Time.
