Quarante ans après la sortie de leur premier single, Grooving In Green, The March Violets sortiront le 18 novembre 2022 une anthologique chez Jungle Records.
The Palace Of Infinite Darkness se présentera sous la forme d’un coffret 5 CD regroupant tous les singles et toutes les versions extended, ainsi que 6 sessions enregistrées pour la BBC entre 1982 et 1984.
Le coffret comportera aussi deux volumes incluant des démos inédites : un premier datant du début de la période 1982-1984 et un autre couvrant 1985-1987.
Enfin, un livret rédigé par Rosie Garland (la fondatrice du groupe) relatera l’histoire de The March Violets.
