Split Enz – Second Thoughts(Expanded Edition)

Description

The next chapter in this series, ‘Second Thoughts (Expanded Edition)’, marks 50 years since Split Enz ventured to London to record with Roxy Music’s Phil Manzanera in the producer’s chair.
This definitive 2LP set pairs the original 1976 mix, remastered from the original tapes, with a companion LP ‘Wide Angle Enz’ – a treasure trove of live recordings and alternate mixes, including a previously unreleased archival rough mix of ‘129 (Matinee Idyll)’ which is exclusive to this release.
Presented in the distinctive Australia/New Zealand sleeve featuring John Prew’s band portrait, the album concludes with the hypnotic locked- groove of ‘Mental Notes’, mirroring the international version’s striking finale.
Pressed on two 140g vinyl, housed in a wide- spine sleeve with printed inner bags.
Remastered from the original tapes by Phil Kinrade and overseen by Eddie Rayner, with lacquers cut by Harry Rudkins at AIR Studios.
