More information: It’s been 25 years since Guy Manning released his critically acclaimed debut album, Tall Stories For Small Children. Following 14 further solo albums and numerous contributions to the musical projects, this is a very special, first-time-on-vinyl, 25th Anniversary edition, remastered by the legendary Sean Timms (Unitopia, Southern Empire). This edition comes with the 2010 bonus track, The Willow And The Pine and two original versions of tracks, Clocks and In Swingtime. Whilst these were on later albums, they were originally recorded in 1999 for Tall Stories and are worthy of inclusion on this exclusive vinyl package.
This is a very limited vinyl run and a strictly one-off pressing in this format, a double LP in a 5mm wide spine sleeve, printed centre labels, and accompanied by an insert. Over 80 minutes of memorable progressive rock covering themes from all eras from the last half century.
