Collector's Item (Twelfth Night album)
# Collector's Item (Twelfth Night album)

Collector's Item is a compilation album released by UK neo-progressive band Twelfth Night in 1991 as a CD and double album, and re-released on CD only with some different tracks in 2001.

## Details

The album came about after the Geoff Mann-fronted line-up of the band reunited briefly to record a studio version of "The Collector", an epic from the early 1980s which they felt they had never managed to produce a definitive version of; at the same time, a new recording of "Love Song" was made. The band decided that the best way to bring the recordings to light was as part of a compilation of their work spanning both the Geoff Mann and Andy Sears eras, which ultimately saw the light of day in 1991. The LP release was a double album, and therefore could accommodate three extra songs.

In 2001, Cyclops Records - the band's publishers at the time, who were producing a series of reissues - rereleased the CD version of the album with some alterations. The version of "Sequences" was removed, since at the time "Live and Let Live" was readily available; in its place were three different songs.
