Sublime pop magicians Goldfrapp announce a Special Edition of their latest album ‘Seventh Tree’ to be released by Mute on 3rd November 2008. Released on CD with bonus DVD, the Special Edition will contain the complete original "fantasy-fabulous" album.

The DVD contains tracks filmed live on the Summer Solstice at the magnificent De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill on Sea earlier this year plus backstage footage from the show. The DVD also features the fantastic videos for hit singles ‘A&E’, ‘Happiness’ (which has just been nominated for a Q Award) and ‘Caravan Girl’ as well as live performances of ‘Clowns’ and ‘Road to Somewhere’ from a TV special on Goldfrapp.

On 22nd October Goldfrapp undertake what promises to be a very special performance when they play Cecil Sharp House, home English Folk & Dance Society in London, for the BBC Electric Proms. For an audience of just 200 people the show forms a key part of this year’s Proms and will be broadcast across numerous BBC platforms including radio, TV and online. 2008 has seen Goldfrapp cement their reputation as one of the best and most thrillingly inventive British live acts around and the Proms show takes the experience to a new level with a specially extended stage to accommodate their choir and orchestra.

In addition, Goldfrapp will release an iTunes Originals Session on 30th September 2008. Recorded at NYC's Electric Lady Studios, the session includes newly recorded versions of longtime Goldfrapp favourites such as ‘Strict Machine’, ‘Ooh La La’ and ‘Paper Bag’ and newly recorded versions of songs from Seventh Tree such as ‘Eat Yourself’, ‘Road To Somewhere’ and ‘Little Bird’. The session – which is available exclusively through iTunes – also includes selected album tracks from the full Goldfrapp catalogue as well as commentary and anecdotes from the band.

The Proms show is the first on the latest leg of their UK Seventh Tree tour, taking place through October and November 2008.

Starting the year with unique acoustic show at London’s Union Chapel (which was, according to The Observer, “A privilege to witness”) through to spectacular main stage/headline performances at Glastonbury and Lovebox, the band have wowed audiences across the UK, US and Europe this year.

Live highlights so far include special performances at Royal Festival Hall and Royal Albert Hall complete with orchestra, choir and full band, and the Goldfrapp dancers – pole dancing lovelies and the surreal Rag Men – who thrilled and amused in equal measure. Their sold-out UK tour in June culminated with an electrifying Royal Albert Hall show that saw 5,000 people joyously singing along to recent hit single ‘Happiness’.
