Needle Mythology reissue a special expanded album edition of Finn, the album released by
New Zealand's most celebrated musical siblings Tim and Neil Finn to acclaim both from
critics and long-time fans who had followed the pair's work since their time in together in
Split Enz.
Released in close collaboration with Tim and Neil, the newly-expanded Finn comes with an
entire album The Finn Demos, which gathers together ten songs from 1989's legendary
Murchison St sessions, remastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. Convening at
Neil's new Melbourne apartment with a view to making an album together, Tim and Neil
embarked on an intensely productive period, writing several songs that would briefly result
in Tim joining Crowded House for the resulting Woodface album.
Assisted by the late Paul Hester on drums, the demos capture a host of songs that would go
on to be played in arenas around the world in their newborn state: 'It's Only Natural',
'Catherine Wheels', 'Weather With You', featuring a whole extra verse and the previously
unreleased 'Four Stepping in 3/4 Time'.
Originally released on Parlophone Records, Finn spawned an unlikely top 30 hit, the
mesmerising semi-improvised psych-rock fan favourite 'Suffer Never'.
The expanded double album edition of Finn has been cut at Abbey Road by Miles Showell.
The CD version is presented as the original album plus a separate disc containing the bonus
tracks.
