Manufactured By Optimal Media GmbH Manufactured By Optimal Media GmbH Manufactured By Optimal Media GmbH Manufactured By Optimal Media GmbH This 21st anniversary edition of Attack of the Grey Lantern is a special limited edition set with 3 CDs and a DVD in a 72-page hardback book featuring the iconic 'roses' cover art. All of the audio has been fully remastered from the original master tapes by Jon Astley and the 5.1 mixed by long-time Mansun collaborator P-Dub. The first CD contains the original album, the second is packed with previously unreleased demos, rarities and outtakes from the Mansun archive, and the third features BBC Radio 1 session tracks from '95 and '96 that have not been available since they were on air. The DVD boasts the album's first ever 5.1 surround sound mix (DTS and Dolby Digital AC3 - hype sticker erroneously claims DTS mix is 96/24), a hi-resolution stereo audio (24bit/48kHz Linear PCM) and 8 original promotional videos. The 72-page hardback book includes newly unearthed photos, extracts from Paul Draper's formative notebook documenting the early beginnings of AOTGL, previously unreleased original artwork, a foreword penned by Draper, in depth sleeve notes by accomplished journalist Paul Stokes, and plenty of newly unearthed treasures.
The album has been fully overhauled for a gloriously deluxe reissue package remastered from the original multi-tracks by Jon Astley and with the band and Paul’s longtime studio collaborator PDub creating the 5.1 remix. The CDs of extra material include previously unheard demo recordings, studio outtakes and long unheard BBC sessions recorded prior to the album’s release. This reissue campaign also sees the record remastered for vinyl for the first time since its original release.
