Cherry Red are pleased to announce the 2CD+DVD expanded deluxe re-issue of the debut studio album Get Born by Australian rock band Jet. The band line-up consisting of brothers Nic Cester and Chris Cester, Cameron Muncey and Mark Wilson was formed in 2002. Later that year, the band released the ‘Dirty Sweet’ EP, whose initial 1000 copies quickly sold out. Subsequent to this, Elektra Records offered the band a recording contract and the following year on 14th September 2003, “Get Born” was released.

The album has gone on to sell over 4 million copies worldwide including platinum status in USA, UK and Australia. The album spawned five Top 40 hit singles in the UK including ‘Rollover DJ’, ‘Cold Hard Bitch’, ‘Look What You’ve Done’ and the track that was the lead single from the album, ‘Are You Gonna Be My Girl’.

The album was critically acclaimed by the media including GQ calling it, “an irresistible mix of youngpunk vinegar and classic-rock baking soda...” Alternative Press gave it a rave review and found Jet's songs "catchy" and their appeal "diverse". Q magazine said that the album's raw immediacy "belies its dated influences…”.

The band split up in 2012 but reformed in 2016 and since then have played a number of live shows including in 2018 a 15th anniversary Australian national tour for the album Get Born.

This carefully curated deluxe expanded 2CD+DVD re-issue brings together many rare and hard to find b sides, edits and promo versions as well as a DVD containing promo videos and live performances.
