Release Announcement
"Over the past few months I've been working with Parlophone on pulling together the loose ends since the split of the band. What we have decided is that Mansun's fourth album sessions will be released later this year. These recordings will appear in a three CD package, entitled 'Kleptomania'. CD1 will be the fourth album sessions, CD2 will have the best stuff from the EPs (the tracks that weren't ever available on the albums), and CD3 will be rare and unreleased material that we have dug up from the vaults at Abbey Road. I will also be writing detailed sleeve notes for the release which should be out in the autumn of this year."

Trivia
Kleptomania sleeve notes by Paul Draper, July 2004.
1. Getting Your Way 'This was always going to be the opening song on the album. The last version of this song had a completely new chorus but was not complete enough to release. This is an earlier version that sounds close to the version we played on our last tour.'
Engineered and mixed by Cenzo Townsend.
2. Slipping Away 'This was recorded at Jacob's studio in Surrey. This is an early version of the song before new guitars were added, but the only mix we have available in a listenable form.'
Engineered and mixed by Cenzo Townsend. Mixed by Paul Draper. Instrumental track between Slipping Away and Keep Telling Myself composed and performed by Dominic Chad from 'The Parrot Sessions'.
