Greetings true believers,

just to say hello and that i hope to see some of you at my gigs in ireland which i'm super excited to be doing. i have support from a funny little folky bloke called sam amidon who is kind of amazing.  my new favorite movie is "afterlife" by kore-eda, but i have only watched the first 20 minutes so far, they are so beautiful!  the sun is shining and my daughter hid all my credit cards and now i can't find them.  does anybody have any money they can give me?  spare a tenner?  loose change?  a few quid?  a couple bucks? a pound or two?  

Greetings true believers,

Greetings true believers,

The Legacy Edition deluxe re-issue of Beth's landmark 1996 "Trailer Park" album is available now!

The album comes with a bonus disc of 13 non album tracks from 1996 to 1998. This latest entry in the prestigious ‘Legacy Edition’ series is available at both physical and digital retail outlets everywhere.

More details -

“Beth Orton’s first album was born out of going out and staying in, of love, late nights and mornings after. It referenced Rickie Lee Jones, Bobbie Gentry, Joni Mitchell; the girl groups of the early ’60s, the twisted pop of the late ’60s. There were those who deemed it the perfect post-club comedown album. But it was so much more.”

– from the liner notes by Miranda Sawyer for TRAILER PARK: LEGACY EDITION

For the first time since its original recording 13 years ago, TRAILER PARK: LEGACY EDITION presents a newly re-mastered version of the classic album that introduced “She Cries Your Name.” In addition, a second CD collects 13 non-album tracks that were released between 1996 and ’98 – UK single B-sides, a live cut, an instrumental, and rarities, including both Callier songs.

The two-CD package contains a booklet with new photographs, and liner notes written by journalist Miranda Sawyer.
