'''''Somewhere in the Sun... Best of the Dream Academy''''' is a [[compilation album]] released by [[The Dream Academy]] in [[Japan]] in 2000. The compilation album contains the extended version of "[[Life in a Northern Town]]" and an [[acoustic instrument|acoustic]] version of "The Party" rather than the more common versions. At the time of its release, [[Nick Laird-Clowes]] revealed that the band actually had no involvement with the album, and he went on further to say that they weren't even informed by Warners that a compilation album was being made. His former label boss, Alan McGee, then of Creation Records, was the one who actually brought him home a copy when he was visiting Japan on business. According to [[Kate St John]], around the same time that this album was being made, [[Warner Bros.|Warner Brothers]] were considering a US compilation album, but they and the band decided to re-issue their first album, ''[[The Dream Academy (album)|The Dream Academy]]''.<ref>[http://theacf.com/dreamac/ksjqa.html]  {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050505135451/http://theacf.com/dreamac/ksjqa.html |date=May 5, 2005 }}</ref>
