Something Beginning with C
Something Beginning With C is an album by the New Zealand band The Exponents, released in 1992.[1] It reached number 1 and spent 19 weeks on the New Zealand Album Chart[2] and went three times platinum. It was the first album to be credited as the Exponents, rather than their former name The Dance Exponents. In May 2013, Universal Music re-released the album digitally in New Zealand in remastered standard and deluxe editions. The deluxe edition has thirteen additional tracks of B-sides and the original UK demo of "Why Does Love Do This To Me".[3] The album title was a play on the original plan of the band's to have the initials of their albums spell 'peace'. "Something Beginning with C" followed the albums Prayers Be Answered, Expectations and Amplifier.[4]
