"Tattva" is a song by Kula Shaker, released as the band's debut single . It was first released in the United Kingdom on 1 January 1996 as "Tattva (Lucky 13 Mix)", then reissued on 24 June as a re-recording with a different sleeve and tracklisting. The word 'tattva' means 'essence' in Hindu philosophy. [ [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tattva Dictionary.com] ] The word is sung in the chorus of the song: "Tattva, acintya bheda bheda Tattva".

Releases

The "Lucky 13 Mix" was issued on 7" and Compact Disc in the United Kingdom, both formats including "Hollow Man (Part II)" as the B-side. The 7" edition was limited to 1000 copies. [http://www.kulashaker.net/tattva.html kulashaker.net] ] This version of the single reached #86 on the UK Singles Chart.

The second edition was released on the same formats but with an additional CD. The 7" comprised "Tattva" plus a different mix titled "Tattva On St. George's Day" as well as the principle B-side "Dance In Your Shadow". The first CD featured "Moonshine" and the "Lucky 13 Mix" as its exclusive tracks, and the second disc contained "Red Balloon (Vishnu's Eyes)". An Australian maxi single was released in 1996 which contained most of the tracks from these latter releases.

The reissue was far more successful than the first edition, reaching #4 on the UK Singles Chart. [ [http://www.chartstats.com/songinfo.php?id=24272 Chart Stats] ]

Two music videos for "Tattva" were produced: one for Europe and a second made for the United States.

Packaging

Both CDs (KULA CD3 and KULA CD3K) were housed in card picture sleeves. The second CD had a printed spine and also contained an inner sleeve, much like a vinyl LP. The first edition of "Tattva" came in a standard slimline jewel case.
