Big Big Train - Underfall Yard: Remixed And Remastered

Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition. Released in December 2009, The Underfall Yard was the first Big Big Train album with vocalist David Longdon and drummer Nick D'Virgilio as full band members, the first to feature Dave Desmond's brass band and the first to include the guitar playing of Dave Gregory. Alongside the remix of the original recordings, a second companion CD features 48 minutes of material, including a new 2020 studio recording of the title track, preceded by a previously unreleased brass prelude. Also included is the Songs From The Shoreline suite, which was planned for the album's original release in 2009. For this re-issue, in 2020 the band completely re-recorded 'Victorian Brickwork', which segues into 'Fat Billy Shouts Mine' (which has to date only been available on the Far Skies, Deep Time EP). The final track on the second disc is 'Brew and Burgh', a newly composed song written by BBT founder and bassist Greg Spawton specifically as a companion piece for this re-issue of the album. In addition, original album artist Jim Trainer has painted some new images for an expanded booklet.
