"Singles" is a compilation album by Sheffield band The Long Blondes. It will be released on October 8, 2008 on Angular Records. The twelve-tracker collects all of the songs from the band's first four 7" vinyls, which were released by different labels including Thee Sheffield Phonographic Corporation and Angular Records. The version of Separated By Motorways differs from the vinyl version, as the group have opted to include Alan Smyth's demo version instead. The compilation will also feature 2 unreleased songs - Peterborough & Autonomy Boy[1].

The albums artwork is a painting by lead singer Kate Jackson.[2]

The compilation will also feature loads of rare info, pictures and early interviews.[3]
