Amplifier is the third studio album by the New Zealand band Dance Exponents (later known as The Exponents), released in November 1986.[1] The album peaked at #18 and spent four weeks on the New Zealand Album Chart.[2] The CD version was released in 1992 with an alternative cover and two additional tracks but has since been deleted. In May 2013, Universal Music re-released the album digitally for the first time in New Zealand in a remastered extended edition. The extended edition has the original LP cover and running order and adds three additional tracks, two from the CD release and one additional B-side. It also restores "Worldwide Wireless" to its full length after it was edited for the CD release.[3]
