Split Enz / Mental Notes 180g remastered white vinyl

Mental Notes  white vinyl LP

Remastered audio • white vinyl • Gatefold • First time on vinyl for decades

New Zealand new wave band Split Enz‘ second album, Mental Notes, has been newly remastered and will be reissued as a white vinyl pressing.

The band were formed in 1973 by Tim Finn and Phil Judd, and included various other members over the years, such as Neil Finn and keyboard player Eddie Raynor.

Slightly confusingly, 1976’s Mental Notes featured re-recordings of four songs from their debut of the same name (which is why it’s called Second Thoughts down under). It was recorded in London as the band were joined in the studio by Roxy Music‘s Phil Manzanera.

Mental Notes has been newly remastered from the original tapes and is receiving its first vinyl release in three decades. This is a gatefold package with the inside gatefold featuring the alternative artwork when it was issued (as Second Thoughts) in Australia and New Zealand.

This new white vinyl pressing includes printed inner sleeve and will be released on 22 May 2020 via Demon Records.
