Join Hands has Love in a Void (remastered version for the first time) and the album out take Infantry.

Kaleidoscope has Israel, 5 tracks from the Original Warner Chappell Demos (very very different versions of tracks including the first version of Eve White Eve Black to be recorded) and 3 tracks from the Polydor Demos done with Budgie just before recording the album.

Nocturne is released Early May 2006 on DVD for the first time. The DVD features the Play at Home TV Special made by the banshees at the time.. this 45 minute madness is based on a mad hatters tea party and was the launch pad for the wonderfull world of Wonderland. The artwork is based on the original, but improved. Fully remastered in 5.1 DTS and Restored picture this is a must … Thanks.
