Description
Big Big Train will re-issue their third studio album Bard on 21st March 2025. Originally released in 2002 and after many years of being unavailable as a physical CD, the album has been completely re-mixed by their longstanding engineer Rob Aubrey.
Additionally, the re-issue features a live version of the album's opening track, The Last English King, recorded during the band's tour in autumn 2024, as well Headlands, a song recorded during the original sessions but unavailable until now.
Bard will be released via the band's own label English Electric Recordings on CD and 2LP.
The CD and vinyl versions will be strictly limited editions and Bard will not be made available on streaming or other download platforms.
The CD/2LP versions of the album will include extensive 4,000 word liner notes by Andy Stuart (author of the book A View From The Embankment, A View From The Line, which documented the band's 2023 tour) using material from a new interview with Gregory Spawton.
