Over the past few months I've been working with Parlophone on pulling together the loose ends since the split of the band. What we have decided is that Mansun's fourth album sessions will be released later this year. These recordings will appear in a three CD package, entitled 'Kleptomania'. CD1 will be the fourth album sessions, CD2 will have the best stuff from the EPs (the tracks that weren't ever available on the albums), and CD3 will be rare and unreleased material that we have dug up from the vaults at Abbey Road. I will also be writing detailed sleeve notes for the release which should be out in the autumn of this year.

I must say that this thread did fill me with some joy though. That being that those self-important Chester folk have finally called it a day. God they were bad.

So bad, that he can't even generate a "Hits" or a "Best of Album", and is flogging outtakes and the original material that got them signed.

aww leave him alone. Its classic if its a three CD set for a cheap price. And call it closure.

Mansun broke up?

Attack of the Grey Lantern is where it pretty much begins and ends, as far as I'm concerned (though I did like the title track to Six).

Alicia - They broke up in March/April of last year I believe - check http://www.mansun.net for more details if you'd like.

Great stuff... Even if the last album sucked big time, I'll be eagerly waiting for this.

Michael, I think you missed 'Alicia's joke there.
