THE Polyphonic Spree released a very special version of their
universally acclaimed debut LP, The Beginning Stages Of...
on June 16.
The album features a DVD disc containing a host of exclusive
and previously unseen footage.
Exclusive live recordings are accessible while scrolling through
the DVD menus and the disc also includes live footage of the singles,
Light and Day, Hanging Around and Soldier Girl.
For the fans, the inclusion of the band’s own on tour camcorder
footage is sure to be compulsive viewing. To complete the DVD
package, there is also a photo gallery on the DVD disc, containing
images from what has been an extraordinary year for the 23 members.
The audio disc now features the single mixes of Soldier Girl,
Light and Day and Hanging Around, previously only available
as individual singles and a new edit of A Long Day.

In addition, a special new mix of It’s the Sun, unavailable
elsewhere and more akin to the live version, features on the audio
disc.
