Mansun / Attack of the Grey Lantern: exclusive SDE deluxe bundle

SDE exclusive Mansun CD single with rare audio

Mansun‘s 1997 album Attack of the Grey Lantern was reissued in the summer for as a four-disc deluxe book edition which included demos, rarities, outtakes, BBC sessions and a 5.1 surround mix (on DVD). This deluxe set (along with the double coloured vinyl edition) is now available to buy on the SDE shop and each order comes with a FREE, very limited and completely exclusive Mansun CD single!

In collaboration with Kscope, this SDE exclusive recreates a rare promo-only 12-inch vinyl single on CD for the first time. This two-track CD single replicates a 1998 promo-only vinyl and features Paul Oakenfold and Steve Osbourne’s rare (and excellent) seven-minute Perfecto Mix of ‘Wide Open Space’ and the Trouser Enthusiasts Hermaphrodite Circus Mix of the same track. This audio isn’t included on the 2018 deluxe edition and indeed wasn’t part of the 2010 three-disc set either!

The CD single artwork replicates the original promo 12-inch design. There are only 500 of these exclusive CD singles in the world and they are available exclusively via the SDE shop in these special bundles.

The Attack of the Grey Lantern deluxe is already a superb set even without such a great bonus item. The near 12-inch square hardcover 72-page book has a debossed front cover and is packed with notes, rare photos, and an intro from Paul Draper. As well as the 5.1 mix, the DVD also includes eight promo videos.

You can pick-up the 2LP heavyweight purple vinyl reissue of Attack of the Grey Lantern which also ships with the SDE exclusive CD single or if you want the lot, then there is a special 7-disc SDE bundle available!! Head over to the SDE shop via this link, or simply use the buttons below. These are available now and orders will ship this week.
