Just in time for Winter Wonderland dances the world over, the folks at Mute Records will issue five M83 albums-- the self-titled debut, 2003's Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts, 2005's Before the Dawn Heals Us, last year's Digital Shades Vol. 1, and this spring's exquisite Saturdays=Youth-- on vinyl come November 25.

Each, with the exception of Digital Shades, is a double LP, and each comes with a bonus CD containing the music from the respective LP. Digital Shades, a download-only release in these parts since its arrival last summer, was issued on CD for the first time in the U.S. today from Mute.

M83's Anthony Gonzalez and band are presently wrapping up a few European dates before they hit North America with School of Seven Bells in November and the UK with Kings of Leon in December.
