Fifteen of the cuts were previously unavailable through official streaming platforms – including the band’s recent spin on Madonna’s ‘Borderline’.The Manics first aired their rendition of the pop icon’s 1983 song during a performance at the BBC 6 Music Festival in March.
James Dean Bradfield and co. later revealed that they’d recorded the rendition because they “enjoyed playing it live so much”.‘Borderline’ was tracked by the band at their Door To The River studio especially for the new playlist, which also includes versions of Rihanna‘s ‘Umbrella’, ‘In Between Days’ by The Cure (Live at the BBC) and ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ by Guns N’ Roses (Live at Cardiff Castle).‘Sleep Next To Plastic’, the latest in in a series of band-curated playlists is streaming now on Spotify.
