Begin is the only album ever released by the collective known as The Millennium
during its lifetime (though there have been several compilations since the group's
demise).Begin has gained notoriety throughout the years as being the most
expensive album that Columbia Records had released by that time, though critics
generally agree that the money was well spent. It is now generally considered to be a classic of sunshine pop.Begin has been reissued numerous times throughout
the years, despite the extremely poor sales of the original release, and has been
reissued in three different configurations on CD. The 1990 reissue featured
truncated cover art, but included brief interviews with several band members in
the liner notes and both sides of a rare promotional single, "Just About The Same"
b/w "Blight". A later reissue featured the single versions of several tracks from the
album. In 2001 the album reissued as the third CD in the three-disc set Magic
Time, released by Sundazed Records in 2001. It features all of the bonus tracks
from the two previous versions, but "Just About The Same" and "Blight" are
presented in mono, whereas they were presented in their original stereo mixes on
the 1990 release. In 2012, a Japan-exclusive box set was released with 8 discs,
including Begin, using the latest DSD remastering. This release was overseen by an original Millennium member and is a limited edition.
To date the Music On Vinyl and Sundazed labels have also reissued the album
again on vinyl.
