Split Enz – Second Thoughts: ENZyclopedia Volumes One and Two Appendices

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.
