Sixth album Worldwide (1991) was self-produced the two-CD deluxe casebound book set adds the three acoustic EPs which followed it, originally released in 1992 and 1993. The band’s well known covers of Love Is Strange and The Only Living Boy In New York are amongst the work on the EPs. Six live tracks from the era, four of them previously unreleased, and an unreleased demo of a Big Star song also feature on the bonus disc.
