Das 1996 erstmals bei Rounder Records herausgekommene Album, bei dem Tim wie gewohnt geschickt-ungeschickt zwischen Kopfstimme und einem jovialen Crooner-Bariton wechselte, enthält Interpretationen bekannter Hits wie “Stairway to Heaven”, “Hey Jude” (Beatles), “New York, New York” (Sinatra) u.v.a. im eingängigen Sound einer Band, die gerne durch alle Revuestile aller Kontinente tingelt und einen besonderen Soft Spot für Jazz und Polka hat. Diesmal gibt es eine ganze Reihe an Bonustracks, darunter alternative Versionen der ursprünglichen Stücke und eine Handvoll Outtakes.

“Bringing together, for the first time, the music photography of Ruth Bayer, who has documented key players in the English musical post-punk underground since the mid 1980s.

With unprecedented access and intimacy, Ruth has photographed luminaries and legends including Marc Almond, Little Annie, John Balance, Peter Christopherson, Shirley Collins, Cyclobe, Baby Dee, Steven Stapleton, David Tibet, Tony (TS) McPhee, Norbert Kox, Tiny Tim, and many others, in a career spanning three decades.

This is a unique collection, featuring over one hundred timeless and iconic images of some of the most influential, eccentric and sometimes controversial musicians of their times.

Ruth Bayer is an Austrian photographer, based in London, whose work has been exhibited at galleries all over the world. Her photographs have appeared in numerous music and style magazines over the past two decades and most recently in the book ‘The Play Goes On: The Rituals of the Rainbow Bridge by Zachary Cox and Jean M Williams’.”
