Queens of the Stone Age have announced the "upscale" reissue campaign of three of their studio albums: 2017's Villains, 2013's ...Like Clockwork and their 1998 self-titled debut, all of which are available for pre-order now through Matador Records or direct from the band's webstore.

Queens of the Stone Age is the first to arrive on October 21, complete with original out-of-print artwork by Frank Kozik, sealed with a Boneface-designed obi-strip and on standard black and limited edition opaque orange vinyl, "restored" to its original tracklisting." That version is available digitally today, and you can stream it below.

...Like Clockwork and Villains will follow on December 9, with the former "newly recut from its original master tapes," pressed on limited opaque aqua vinyl, and contained in alternate artwork with a Boneface obi-strip. The latter will arrive with special fifth anniversary packaging including an etching, obi-strip, and a brand new poster by Boneface on limited-edition leaf-green transparent vinyl.
