Placebo Re:Created
Thirty years after the release of their groundbreaking debut, Placebo revisit the album that launched their career with Placebo RE — a bold reimagining that breathes new life into one of alternative rock's defining records.
Rather than producing a straightforward remaster or remix, Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal returned to the original master tapes and approached the album as a true "director's cut." Drawing on three decades of performing these songs live, the band have carefully reworked every track, enhancing the power, atmosphere and sonic depth while preserving the raw emotion and identity that made the original such a landmark release.
Featuring newly reimagined versions of classics including Nancy Boy, 36 Degrees, Bruise Pristine, Teenage Angst and Come Home, RE captures how the songs have naturally evolved over the years. The result is not a replacement for the 1996 original, but a companion piece that reflects the band's growth while remaining true to the fearless spirit of their debut.
Pressed on 150g vinyl and presented in a deluxe gatefold sleeve, this edition also includes a hidden bonus white 7-inch featuring Drowning By Numbers and H.K. Farewell, making it an essential release for longtime fans and collectors alike.
