"When I was asked to put together this collection of rarities I knew that the most difficult part would be constraining the number of CDs to single figures. That went out the window a few weeks ago - and I'm happy about that. Domino insist they are too. At least I didn't ask for a silver box" - Graham Lee
On 5 April 2010 Domino are to release their eagerly awaited "Best of The Triffids" deluxe box set "Come Ride With Me ... Wide Open Road – The Best Of The Triffids", which features ten discs spanning the band's entire career. That same day they also release an accompanying 18 track single disc compilation "Wide Open Road - The Best of The Triffids".
In addition, on Friday 9 April, the remaining members of THE TRIFFIDS will gather together with a cast of characters, friends, guest musicians and vocalists at London's Barbican for a special concert to showcase and celebrate the songwriting genius of their late leader David McComb, who died in 1999. The band will also take the show to Hasselt, Belgium on 16 and 17 April at Kunstencentrum Belgie, and Athens, Greece on 23 April, when they appear at Gagarin 205.

These releases continue THE TRIFFIDS reissue programme which Domino started in 2006 with the release of the band's classic "Born Sandy Devotional" album, and which has seen "Calenture", "In The Pines", "Black Swan" and "Treeless Plain" all remastered and released as deluxe CDs with additional music and sleeve notes. Along the way there have been singles, a limited edition 7" singles box set, an unreleased album "Beautiful Waste And Other Songs"; unexpected live shows in Belgium and Amsterdam, a performance with special guests and friends as part of 2008's Sydney Festival in Australia and even the honouring of the band with a Blue Plaque in London!
