Elbow have announced that they’ll release a compilation titled The Best Of later this month.

The collection will be available as a standard edition along with a two-disc deluxe edition. Both will launch on November 24 via Polydor and are available for pre-order.

Among the tracks included in the collection is Golden Slumbers – Elbow’s cover of the Beatles track that’s featured in the new Christmas TV advert for UK store John Lewis.

It’s one of the favourites to be at the top of the UK singles’ charts this Christmas.

Elbow vocalist Guy Garvey explains: “Best Ofs are a good way of introducing new fans to a big back catalogue. My first Leonard Cohen album was The Best Of, same with Fleetwood Mac and Nick Drake.

“It took ages for us to decide what should go on ours but we got there in the end. We are really proud of this, it’s full of memories.”
