about

This album was recorded in Liverpool and London at the turn of the century. Twas my first jab at solo.

It was released on the Lowsley Sounds label, which was run by the innovative James Bernard.

The album was recorded and produced by the richly talented, kind and indefatigable Tim Benton, escept Track 6 (by the wonderful Paul Stakounis) and Track 15 (Naicher Mann and myself).

Tim's current project, Parenthesis Dot Dot Dot, is visible here: www.parenthesisdotdotdot.com

The artwork on both the CD and on these downloads was kindly provided by the inimitable and brilliant Nick Sykes. His fine work can be seen here:

The last three tracks were not on the original album, Tracks 13 and 14 being the b-sides to the single, 'If You Don't Want Me'. Track 15 was recorded around the same time.

Additional thanks to Claire Dowling and Neil Morrin for their contribution to the original release.
