Maxïmo Park Ready Rarities Compilation

Newcastle's current hottest export will offer up the 12-track Missing Songs on February 20 in the UK and February 21 in the U.S., courtesy of Warp Records. The disc compiles various b-sides with demos from their debut LP, 2005's A Certain Trigger.

Tracklist:

01 A19
02 Isolation
03 My Life in Reverse
04 Fear of Falling
05 I Want You to Leave
06 A Year of Doubt
07 Trial and Error
08 Stray Talk
09 Hammer Horror
10 Apply Some Pressure (Original Demo Version)
11 Graffiti (Original Demo Version)
12 Once, a Glimpse (Original Demo Version)

Warp will also release A Certain Trigger's fourth single, "I Want You to Stay", on February 20. A video for the song was shot in December in New York City. One day earlier, on February 19, the band will appear at the Bangkok 100 Rock Festival in Thailand. What a busy week.

As previously reported, Maxïmo Park have been drafted by NME to headline their "ShockWaves NME Awards Tour 2006" later this month, alongside Arctic Monkeys, We Are Scientists, and Mystery Jets. Because most Americans wouldn't know NME from KFC, the tour is a UK-only affair.
