Official Cd

.VB

19.MAY.03 7 Year Itch CD / LTD Double Vinyl released. On the Press sheet for the promo CD above, it says the DVD will be out at the same time, although on Siouxsie.com it says: June 2nd. Cd recieves mixed reviews from fans, mainly due to (the now boring topic, of)  Sioux's voice. The double LP features less artwork and pics than the CD.....'limited' indeed.

DVD / VHS

VB 02.JUN.03 7 Year Itch DVD to be released. In contrast to the Cd recieves excellent reviews and is worthy of them. A fine example of a fantastic group performing as great as they ever have, captured perfectly and very well edited. DVD features two seperate backstage sections as bonus (Budgie's tour is worth the money alone!!) and a hidden section where there are interviews with the fans.
Book VB 28.JUL.03 The Authorised Biography released in the UK, although only limted shops stocked it on day of release due to distributor problems
