In 2005, Big Arena Records, an independent record company based in the UK, bought the rights to release the entire Slaughterhouse 5 back catalogue.
About 50 songs in all made it to tape over the glorious 3-year period that the band was in existence.
As well as re-releasing a brand new re-mastered version of Wide Open and a brand new single, You Only Need Me, a 'best of' compilation album The Ugliest Man In The World will also be available to buy from www.bigarenarecords.com in late 2006.
It is a stunning 38-track, 3 CD album featuring classic Sh5 songs, exclusive never before released material and loads of previously hard-to-find b-sides, covers, acoustic versions and oddities.
