Franz Ferdinand reveal expansive deluxe “Passport” edition of new album Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action

Ausweis bitte.

Talk about comprehensive, Franz Ferdinand’s new LP Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action is being released as a limited 500 piece “passport” edition that will cover pretty much every audio format available.

In fact, it’s less of a passport and more of a key to the city, collecting the Glasgow band’s first album since 2009’s Tonight on 180gram vinyl, backed with an exclusive live recording entitled ‘Right Notes, Right Words, Wrong Order’, from a session at Konk Studios in London.

As if that wasn’t enough, there’s a mystery 12″ single, two 7″ singles, one containing a brace of exclusive tracks, the other coloured and housed in some kind of “spined outer sleeve”, a 6-panel CD of the main album, a bunch of postcards you can use to write to friends who didn’t get a copy and all the high-quality digital audio you could desire.
