Spellbound - Album by Split Enz
Album · 1997 · 39 Songs
music.apple.comDirect answer: There’s limited recent mainstream press specifically about Split Enz’s Spellbound compilation; most coverage centers on archival releases and the 1993 Spellbound documentary. For the latest, you’d typically check NZ media and music outlets for anniversary reissues or screenings.
What I can gather without live tool access:
- Spellbound is a 1997 compilation/collection titled The Very Best Of Split Enz, spanning their career with 39 tracks. This release is well-documented as a career-spanning anthology.[2][4]
- There is a long-form documentary titled Spellbound (1993), narrated by Sam Neill, which chronicles the band’s trajectory from formation to later years; it’s a common reference point for fans and researchers.[3][7][8]
- Related catalog entries and special editions (e.g., 2xCD Australian/ NZ editions) exist, noting its status as a curated best-of package rather than a new studio album.[5][2]
Where to look for the latest updates:
- NZ On Screen and NZ music press often feature archival retrospectives or screenings tied to Spellbound around anniversaries or revived interest.[7][8]
- Major streaming platforms and Apple Music listings typically reflect the 1997 Spellbound compilation; updates would appear there if new editions or regional reissues occur.[4][9]
If you want, I can focus on one of these angles:
- A concise timeline of Spellbound’s releases and editions
- A summary of the Spellbound documentary’s key insights and who weighs in on the band
- A list of credible sources and where to check for the newest news (with direct links)
Would you like me to pull a focused update on one of these aspects? If you have a region or date in mind (e.g., “UK/NZ reissues in 2025”) I can tailor the search accordingly.
