The Killers reissue Sam’s Town for its 20th anniversary on 27 November 2026. The release includes two remastered vinyl editions, led by a numbered audiophile 2LP.
The Killers prepare two Sam’s Town vinyl editions
The EMI listing gives the release date as 27 November 2026 and names The Killers as the artist. The audiophile edition is cut from assembled analogue masters by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound. It is pressed at Optimal Media in Germany on two 180-gram LPs running at 45 RPM.
The numbered 2LP comes in a heavyweight gatefold jacket with a 12-page booklet and the bonus track Peace Of Mind. The edition is limited to 4,000 copies worldwide. A separate Red Smoke edition uses one 180-gram LP at 33 RPM.
Sam’s Town connects the release to The Killers’ catalogue
Sam’s Town was the band’s second album and followed Hot Fuss. That position gives the November release a direct link to the group’s catalogue, revisiting a full studio record through new physical formats.
The album was created after the band returned to Las Vegas following touring behind its debut. The uDiscover release overview also identifies Alan Moulder and Flood as the album’s producers. The new vinyl master was cut by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound.
The Sam’s Town box set expands the vinyl release
The separate seven-inch box set gathers four singles associated with Sam’s Town: When You Were Young, Bones, Read My Mind and For Reasons Unknown. Each single is paired with its original B-side.
A fifth single couples Peace Of Mind with Read My Mind (Like Rebel Diamonds Mix). The latter mix receives its first vinyl release in this edition.
