20 YEARS AGO: Mansun - Six (Single Version)

Released exactly 20 years ago today on 1st February 1999, this re-recorded edit of the title track from Mansun's cult classic LP 'Six' reached number 16 in the UK singles charts.

Using only the first section from the brilliant and bizarre album version, the track was was re-recorded with New York producer Arthur Baker and released as the album's fourth and final single. 

The single was backed by interesting and brilliant b sides, something the band did often. The filthy bass and post-punk atmospherics of 'What It's Like To Be Hated' is particularly excellent. Years after Mansun split in 2003, 'Six' is being reissued on March 22. The new edition of the album is available to pre-order in vinyl and CD format as well as a 4 CD/DVD set.
