Split Enz' 1976 studio album, Second Thoughts, will be reissued as this SDE exclusive blu-ray in November and features a Dolby Atmos, a 5.1 Mix and more.

Formed in 1972 in Auckland, New Zealand, Split Enz, (initially known as 'Split Ends'), were the first band from New Zealand to achieve major success beyond the Southern Hemisphere, blazing a trail with a sound and style entirely their own. They evolved from folk-inspired beginnings into a fusion of art-rock, new wave, and theatrical performance. Initially, the band members were Tim Finn, vocalist and guitarist Phil Judd, bassist Mike Chunn, violinist Miles Golding and flautist Mike Howard. But the line-up changed quite regularly and by the time of Second Thoughts, Eddie Rayner was playing keyboards, Robert Gillies took care of saxophone/trumpet, while Noel Crombie and Emlyn Crowther were on percussion and drums, respectively. Neil Finn joined in 1977.

Second Thoughts was produced by Roxy Music's Phil Manzanera and was the band's first album release in Europe and North America but their second in Australia and New Zealand where Mental Notes was actually their debut. Second Thoughts features four tracks from Mental Notes along with a couple of tracks that were recorded during the sessions for Mental Notes (but not used) and then re-recorded for Second Thoughts. Additionally, the song 'Matinee Idyll' on Second Thoughts was a re-recorded and retitled version of an early B-side called '129'.

The blu-ray is actually titled ENZylcopedia Volumes 1 & 2 because it features versions of both albums, for a total of 5 different audio streams, including a brand new Dolby Atmos and 5.1 Mix of Second Thoughts by Michael Carpenter, a stereo mix of the same album by Eddie Rayner, and three music videos.
