Postcards From a Young Man EP
Postcards From a Young Man is a release from the Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers, issued on Columbia on 28 February 2011. It takes its name from the title track of the band's tenth studio album, Postcards From a Young Man, and was the third single to be lifted from that record.
It arrived in the middle of a busy stretch for the band, coming after Journal for Plague Lovers in 2009 and ahead of Rewind the Film in 2013. For anyone who has followed the Manics through their albums, it is a small but neat companion piece to the 2010 record it comes from.
