Sentimental Education is an album by the New Zealand group Sneaky Feelings.[1] [2] First released as an LP in 1986, it was re-released with extra tracks as a CD the following year. Several of the extra tracks had previously been released as singles, including the band's biggest single, "'Husband House".
In 1990, the Orange County Register included the album on its list of "essential New Zealand music of the past decade," noting the "Velvet Underground and Byrds influences and slimly produced records pulled off with a sense of spirit."[3] Perfect Sound Forever wrote that Sentimental Education "was more ambitious [than the debut], but faltered in places due to misguided production."[4]
Tracks marked with an asterisk were not on the original vinyl release.

Bonus tracks on European version (Flying Nun Europe – FNE 14CD - 1986).
The version of "Backroom" released on this album is a completely different recording to that which had earlier been on the Dunedin Double EP. The version of "Amnesia" is also a different version to the original release of the song (as the B-side of the "Be My Friend" single).
