Space to release 5-album box set

Famed for their hits Female of the Species, The Ballad of Tom Jones, Neighbourhood and Avenging Angels, Space were one of the biggest bands in Britain in the late 90s, selling half a million copies of their second album, Tin Planet, and gaining international appeal through their appearances on the soundtracks to Austin Powers and Lost in Space.

It all went wrong for the band, however, when the release of their planned third album, 2000's Love You More Than Football, was postponed and later cancelled completely after a fall out with their record label. Promotional copies have since become highly sought after collectors items, and the band split in 2004.

Now well into their second run following a partial reformation in 2012, the band are set to tour the UK in the Autumn and release a new album next year. But first, there's some cleaning up to do.

Out of print for many years, Space's entire back catalogue will be reissued as a box-set in October. The set will comprise of 1996's debut Spiders, 1998's Tin Planet, 2004's Suburban Rock 'n' Roll and their 2014 revival Attack of the Mutant 50ft Kebab. Also included, at long last, will be the famed lost album, Love You More Than Football.

There's currently no word on bonus tracks, but given the band's penchant for B-Sides, and the comprehensive nature of this release, it is quite likely at least a few will sneak in.
