The band will also release 'When The Light Is Mine', a DVD containing music videos and TV performances.

"This is a good history lesson on the days of yore when the band first started out and were writing sometimes 2 - 3 songs a day, many of which became classics, and some of which were lost in the mists of tape and time and vault, " explained the band's manager Bertis Down.

Additionally, the band will be inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame on September 16 in Atlanta.
