Album Trivia: See Ya...

  2. Conflicting Emotions (1983-1984)

    Tim Finn makes a solo album and has a giant hit; Split Enz begins to fall apart; the robots take over, and the American label gets all the fax... and they're not impressed.

  4. Waiata (1980-1981)

    Split Enz sell out London's Hammersmith Odeon, sack their drummer and hand the kit to their costume designer. A gun to the head and a chair to the ceiling.

Songs in this programme include 'Parrot Fashion Love', 'My Mistake',...

  8. Second Thoughts (1976-1977

  9. Mental Notes (1974-1976)
