TWENTYEARS 2-CD will be available for a suggested retail price of $24.98 and $31.98 for the LP's.
A limited and numbered edition of TWENTYEARS SUPER DELUXE EDITION will be available on July 22 and will include 180-gram various colored vinyl plus a third CD featuring Air remixes for other acts - including David Bowie, Beck, Depeche Mode, MGMT and Neneh Cherry and a collector's poster for a suggested retail price of $99.98.
