Rewired is the sixth studio album by Mike + The Mechanics, released in 2004. This was the first album released by the band following the death of co-lead singer Paul Young. Partially because of this, the album was credited to "Mike + The Mechanics" + "Paul Carrack".
The album was released in the UK as a standalone single CD and as a limited edition CD/DVD combo. The limited edition 2-disc set comprises the 9-track CD album plus a 10-track bonus PAL formatted DVD featuring a video for each song plus Long & Short versions of One Left Standing. The album was eventually released in North America by Rhino Records in September 2005 as a single CD only.
Rewired would also be released by Virgin Records in September 2004 in a single case bundle along with Hits. The two albums were repackaged in a 2-in-1 slimline CD case where the CDs themselves are the same as the discs available in the single packaging. The cover is a close up of part of the Rewired cover overlaid with both album covers side by side.
