Description
‘True Colours’, the most commercially successful and acclaimed album of New Zealand group Split Enz’s career, is reissued in numerous formats to celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2020. Four coloured vinyl editions of ‘True Colours’ in sleeves matching the striking original colour combinations issued in January 1980. Working with freshly digitised audio taken from the original album tapes, Split Enz’s Eddie Rayner has produced a stunning new mix of ‘True Colours’. Rather than just another remaster from the existing final tracks Rayner took all the original recordings from each song of the record to mix them together from the ground up in these state of art remixes. ‘True Colours’ was recorded in Melbourne’s Armstrong Studio in late 1979 and featured the band line-up of Tim Finn (vocals), Neil Finn (guitar and vocals), Eddie Rayner (keyboards), Noel Crombie (percussion), Nigel Griggs (bass) and Malcolm Green (drums). Produced by 20-year-old British producer David Tickle (Blondie, The Knack, Divinyls), ‘True Colours’ features timeless Split Enz songs including “Poor Boy”, “I Hope I Never” and “I Got You”.
