Split Enz - Split Enz ENZyclopedia: Volumes One & Two

Split Enz — Split Enz ENZyclopedia: Volumes One & Two

Limited edition box set 140-gram 3LP remastered with poster

"I was absolutely enchanted and inspired by Mental Notes as a 17-year-old. It made me believe anything was possible. Fifty years later, it sounds as unique and timeless as it did then." — Neil Finn 2025

Formed in 1972 in Auckland, New Zealand, Split Enz, known initially as Split Ends, were, and remain, utterly unique. As the first band from New Zealand to achieve major success beyond the Southern Hemisphere, they blazed a trail with a sound and style entirely their own. Evolving from folk-inspired beginnings into a fusion of art-rock, new wave, and theatrical performance, Split Enz didn't just follow trends, they genuinely created them. While no one sounded like Split Enz at the time, countless acts have drawn inspiration from their legacy throughout the past five decades.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of their groundbreaking debut, Mental Notes, the first installment of a landmark archival project ENZyclopedia Volumes One & Two, presents a comprehensive tribute to New Zealand's most visionary and influential band. Housed in a deluxe 3LP edition, this release has been curated in close collaboration with the band. It offers an in-depth look at their formative years, showcasing the evolution of a group whose creative spirit reshaped the boundaries of popular music from New Zealand.
