Employment 20 (China Anniversary Edition)

To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of their debut album Employment (usually commemorated with the gift of china), Kaiser Chiefs are making new expanded ‘China Anniversary’ formats available. The original album has been remastered at Abbey Road Studios, and the bonus material was curated by the band from their own archive.

Originally released in March 2005, Employment peaked on the UK album chart at No. 2, and has since spent more than 17 months in the Top 40, selling over 2.1 million copies and being certified 7 x Platinum status by the British Phonographic Industry. The album was successful across Europe, with hits singles like ‘Oh My God’, ‘I Predict A Riot’, ‘Everyday I Love You Less And Less’ and ‘Modern Way’ contributing to its longevity.

Kaiser Chiefs, formed in Leeds in 2000, are one of the most exciting and consistently successful bands of their generation. Fronted by the charismatic Ricky Wilson, the band has released eight original studio albums, two of which reached UK No. 1. They have had nine Top 40 singles, including the No. 1 ‘Ruby’, received three Brit Awards, an Ivor Novello Album of the Year award for Employment, and toured with U2, Foo Fighters, and Green Day.

The tracklisting for the expanded ‘China Anniversary’ formats includes classics like "Everyday I Love You Less And Less", "I Predict A Riot", "Modern Way", "Na Na Na Na Naa", "You Can Have It All", and "Oh My God". The collection also features lesser-known tracks like "Born To Be A Dancer", "Saturday Night", "What Did I Ever Give You?", "Time Honoured Tradition", "Caroline, Yes", and "Team Mate". The 3CD set includes additional tracks across the three discs, providing fans with even more content to enjoy from this milestone album.
