The Streets have announced a vinyl repress of their out-of-print early albums. A double-LP containing Original Pirate Material and A Grand Don’t Come for Free, released in 2002 and 2004 respectively, arrives March 30, via Rhino. The news follows Mike Skinner’s recent revival of the Streets for their first tour since he retired the alias in 2011. They’ve since released three new songs: “Burn Bridges,” “Sometimes I Hate My Friends More Than My Enemies,” and “If You Ever Need to Talk I’m Here.”
