The Eels To Release Best Of And Rarities Albums

The Eels are to celebrate a decade since their incarnation with a best of album plus a B-sides and rarities compilation in 2008.

The two albums will be entitled ‘Meet The Eels: Essential Eels Vol. 1 1996-2006’ and ‘Useless Trinkets: B-Sides, Soundtracks, Rarities and Unreleased 1996-2006’.

They will be released on January 14 in the UK and a day later via Dream Works/Geffen/Ume in North America.

Both releases will come with an additional DVD, one featuring promo videos for the bands singles and the other a live performance from Lollapalooza in 2006.
