Something Beginning with C is the fourth studio album by New Zealand rock band the Exponents. It is the first release following the band's name change from "The Dance Exponents". Released in 1992[2], it reached number one and spent 19 weeks on the New Zealand Albums Chart[3] and went three times platinum.
In May 2013, Universal Music re-released the album digitally in New Zealand in remastered standard and deluxe editions. The deluxe edition has thirteen additional tracks of B-sides and the original UK demo of "Why Does Love Do This To Me".[4] The album title was a play on the original plan of the band's to have the initials of their albums spell 'peace'. Something Beginning with C followed the albums Prayers Be Answered, Expectations and Amplifier.[5]
