Former Japan frontman David Sylvian is to have his career-spanning Everything And Nothing collection released on triple vinyl for the very first time.

Originally released in 2000 on October 4, the new vinyl version is released through UMR on October 4 and features previously released, unreleased, re-recorded, non-album and alternate versions of tracks from Sylvian's twenty years with Virgin Records, including collaborations with Ryuichi Sakamoto, Robert Fripp and Mick Karn as well as tracks by Japan and Rain Tree Crow.

Focusing entirely on vocal compositions, among the previously unreleased material features is Ride from the Secrets Of The Beehive sessions, both The Scent Of Magnolia and Cover Me With Flowers from the Dead Bees On A Cake sessions, along with remixes of two of Sylvian's Sakamoto collaborations, Bamboo Houses and Heartbeat plus a remix of Japan's Ghosts and the unreleased Some Kind of Fool from Japan’s 1980 sessions for Gentleman Take Polaroids.

You can see the artwork for the new triple vinyl release and I'll tracklisting below.
