Field Music Play..., also known as just Play..., is a compilation album by the Sunderland prog-pop band Field Music, featuring covers of songs written by a variety of artists recorded between 2008 and 2012. For example, the cover of Roxy Music's "If There Is Something" was originally recorded by David Brewis as a B-side for one of his singles as School of Language; however, the version on Play... has re-recorded vocals and guitar parts. Some tracks, such as the Beatles cover "Don't Pass Me By", were originally released as tracks on magazine cover-mounts. The two Pet Shop Boys covers were previously released together as a limited double A-side single for Record Store Day 2012 under the name "Actually, Nearly". The band have stated that they do not consider this release a true Field Music album, instead serving just as a bit of fun. The compilation features artwork (created by band member Peter Brewis) in the same style as the band's fourth album's artwork (also by Peter Brewis) Plumb, released earlier the same year. The compilation was released digitally on Memphis Industries website and on CD on a limited run of 1000 copies and no re-pressings. The number of dots in the ellipsis in the album title varies between three and five from source to source, though on the CD cover it is five.
