The Chills – Kaleidoscope World (Expanded Edition) (CD)

The Chills reissue their celebrated early singles compilation, this 24-track expanded version of Kaleidoscope World gathers together tracks from the Dunedin Double compilation, live recordings, Doledrums single and the bands seminal Pink Frost.

The collection also contains The Lost EP, with early takes on their groundbreaking Submarine Bells album, alongside the aching I Love My Leather Jacket, perfectly illustrating the rollercoaster ride of Martin Phillipps and The Chills as portrayed in the award film The Triumph And The Tragedy Of Martin Phillipps.

Part of the 80s extraordinarily vibrant and innovative independent music scene in New Zealand, The Chills became flag bearers, taking the Dunedin sound, as championed by the Flying Nun label, to the world.
