The album will be issued as a Deluxe Edition 4Disc Book, Green Double Heavyweight Vinyl LP Limited Edition, CD Media Book and Double Black Vinyl.Released little over a year after their No. 1 debut album, Mansun’s SIX was nothing less than a revelation. Arriving at the tail end of the Britpop era, SIX was a hugely ambitious spiralling, sprawling record that charted in the Top 10 on release and spawned four Top 40 singles.Concept driven and spanning myriad genres, SIX was a record out of time made by a band at the peak of their creative powers a collection of songs that fizzed with ideas and inspirations and fused elements of pop, electronica and progressive rock to Tchaikovsky s&le, electronic drums and spooky synth lines. Lyrically, the songs referenced religious scepticism, Winnie the Pooh, L. Ron Hubbard, Stanley Kubrick, Orwell, Marxism and that most iconic TV show, the Prisoner. On top of all of that, the record featured a spoken word section from the legendary fourth Doctor Who Tom Baker. The end result is a 70 minute, twelvetrack brain warp, a record that would set Mansun apart from their peers forever.One of the most iconic and innovative British bands of the late 90s, Mansun signed to the legendary record label Parlophone home to The Beatles, Radiohead and Sigur Ros in 1996. They released three albums – Attack of the Grey Lantern 1997 Lantern 1997, SIX 1998 and Little Kix 2000 and one posthumous compilation, Kleptomania.
