A specially packaged special edition of 2003's 'World Service'. The album that saw a return to form. And a return to the classic rock worship sound for the Littlehampton lads after 'Audio Lessonover'. The feature of this version is the all singing, all dancing packaging. The guys in marketing over at Furious? must have got through many pots of coffee and late nighters over this. The inlay and CD are housed in an octagonal box. This opens via flaps that unveil a satellite when open fully. The inlay, also octagonal, opens out like an ordinance survey map (and just as hard to fold up again) to reveal the lyrics and artwork. All 12 tracks are there. Unfortunately for such an elaborate effort for a limited edition release, there are no extra tracks. But I guess you could argue; if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
