Featuring Clean classics like “Anything Could Happen” and “Point That Thing Somewhere Else”, ‘Boodle Boodle Boodle’ arrived two months after the “Tally Ho!” single, peaking at #5 and staying in the NZ Top 20 for nearly six months. Recorded on four-track by The Clean’s childhood friends Chris Knox and Doug Hood, its five hugely influential songs provided a roadmap for the “Dunedin sound” that would soon follow. ‘Boodle Boodle Boodle’ was awarded the “Classic Record” distinction by New Zealand’s Taite Music Prize in 2017.

Originally released on Flying Nun Records, this reissue has been remastered by Tex Houston with assistance from the Alexander Turnbull Library New Zealand, and The Clean’s David Kilgour and Robert Scott oversaw the careful re-creation of the original packaging.
