The Last Dinner Party have released ‘Prelude To Ecstasy: Acoustics and Covers’.

It’s a deluxe edition of their Mercury Prize-shortlisted debut album, featuring reimagined versions of the band’s own songs alongside covers of tracks by other artists, including Sparks’ 1974 single ‘This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both Of Us’.
