The Killers announced a Sam’s Town anniversary vinyl campaign on 2 October 2026, centred on two newly mastered LP editions and a seven-inch box set. The remastered LP editions are set to ship on 27 November 2026, while the box set follows on 29 January 2027.
The Killers’ vinyl plans split into three physical editions
The campaign brings the album back in three physical forms: a numbered 2LP 45 RPM audiophile edition, a Red Smoke 33 RPM edition and the first seven-inch box set devoted to its singles. The uDiscover announcement identifies Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound as the mastering and cutting engineer for both LP editions.
The audiophile version uses two 180-gram records, a gatefold sleeve, an OBI strip and a 12-page booklet. It adds the bonus track Peace Of Mind. The Red Smoke edition uses one 180-gram LP at 33 RPM, while the seven-inch box set collects When You Were Young, Bones, Read My Mind and For Reasons Unknown, each with its original B-side.
A fifth single pairs Peace Of Mind with Read My Mind (Like Rebel Diamonds Mix). The latter receives its first vinyl release, while edition details confirm the 27 November 2026 shipping date for the LPs.
The Killers’ Las Vegas identity frames Sam’s Town
The Killers are an American rock band from Las Vegas, with Brandon Flowers, Dave Keuning, Mark Stoermer and Ronnie Vannucci Jr. forming the group’s recognised core. A formation account traces the group’s beginnings to the Nevada city and its early club history.
The band’s seven-album catalogue gives the anniversary campaign a place within a wider studio run. The second album follows the debut Hot Fuss, while the new packages keep the focus on the record’s songs, artwork and physical presentation.
Sam’s Town formats pair audiophile LPs with singles
Each format serves a different part of the anniversary campaign. The audiophile edition expands the album across two records, while the Red Smoke version keeps it on one disc.
The box set shifts towards the single era, pairing four singles with their original B-sides and adding a fifth seven-inch. That structure gives the collection both the album and a compact view of its surrounding release cycle.
