Somewhere In The Sun... Best Of The Dream Academy is a compilation album released by The Dream Academy in Japan in 2000. The compilation album contains the extended version of Life In A Northern Town and an acoustic version of The Party rather than the more common versions. At the time of its release, Nick Laird-Clowes revealed that the band actually had no involvement with the album, and he went on further to say that they weren’t even informed by Warners that a compilation album was being made. His former label boss, Alan McGee, then of Creation Records, was the one who actually brought him home a copy when he was visiting Japan on business. According to Kate St John, around the same time that this album was being made, Warner Brothers were considering a US compilation album, but they and the band decided to re-issue their first album, The Dream Academy. Because of its somewhat limited availability, it is one of the more sought after Dream Academy albums.

Oh, my God!! I have been wanting to listen to one (count it, one!) cut off this disc from the time I found out about it. I am dieing to purchase (yes, I mean it!!!) this disc ASAP, but the $80-100 people are asking is going to be out of my reach for a while... The Dream Academy is, and was, a grossly neglected band. Thanks so much for the post.
thank you very much
