"This is what a living legend looks and sounds like" - Rolling Stone.

The Chills reissue their celebrated early singles compilation, this 24-track expanded version of Kaleidoscope World gathers together tracks from the 'Dunedin Double' compilation, live recordings, 'Doledrums' single and the band's seminal 'Pink Frost'.

The collection also contains 'The Lost EP', with early takes on their groundbreaking 'Submarine Bells' album, alongside the aching 'I Love My Leather Jacket', perfectly illustrating the rollercoaster ride of Martin Phillipps and The Chills as portrayed in the award film The Triumph And The Tragedy Of Martin Phillipps.

"Singer/guitarist Martin Phillipps' group was at the forefront of the extraordinary little guitar-pop scene in New Zealand in the early '80s.. Kaleidoscope World is the major document of their early era." - Pitchfork

Part of the 80's extraordinarily vibrant and innovative independent music scene in New Zealand, The Chills became flag bearers, taking the Dunedin sound, as championed by the Flying Nun label, to the world. Long recognised as one of New Zealand's most influential bands, Kaleidoscope World is a definitive artifact from Martin Phillipps' groundbreaking project.
