Bloc Party marks the 20th anniversary of 'Silent Alarm' with a deluxe box set.

      Bloc Party is marking the 20th anniversary of their Mercury Prize-nominated debut album ‘Silent Alarm’ with the release of a special box set edition of the album. This reissue of the influential album, which was first released in 2005, will include a set of four LPs. The first LP is a newly pressed version of the original album, while the other three records will feature 12 B-sides, a 2004 John Peel session from BBC Radio 1, and seven previously unheard demos.
