Seconds Thoughts (Expanded Edition) 2LP

The next chapter in the ENZyclopedia reissue series celebrates 50 years since Split Enz travelled to London to record Second Thoughts with Roxy Music’s Phil Manzanera in the producer’s chair

A new definitive 2LP reissue 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. 

Release Date: 27th February 2026
