Universal is planning on expanding the release of so called deluxe editions, the system where labels re-release an album with a few extras giving said album a second sales boost, and sending completist music fans back into the shops to buy an album for a second time. Having enjoyed chart success with deluxe editions of Take That and Amy Winehouse's most recent albums, Music Week report that such editions of albums by Keane, The Killers, Razorlight, Snow Patrol and U2 will all be released ahead of Christmas in a bid to engineer a festive season boost for CD sales.
