Fay’s unsung-hero status has changed slowly, steadily, on the order of almost twenty-five years. With each new album comes new hosannas and evangelizers — Jeff Tweedy, Kevin Morby, Adam Granduciel and Julia Jacklin, to name just a few.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bill Fay Group, in particular, is Fay’s most significant collaborative work; he records as a member of a larger group here, and the result summons a grander sonic scale, an elegent counterweight to Fay’s instincts for the understated. \u003ci\u003eTomorrow Tomorrow and Tomorrow\u003c\/i\u003e brings to bear the galactic qualities of early rock, the intricacy of jazz improv, and Fay’s earthy folk magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTomorrow Tomorrow and Tomorrow\u003c\/i\u003e has a patchy release history: recorded between 1978 and 1981, it was not released until 2005, when it appeared on CD with limited streaming and no vinyl companion. A 2006 reissue brought the album onto vinyl but with a truncated sequence and nine song missing. Now, finally, \u003ci\u003eTomorrow Tomorrow and Tomorrow\u003c\/i\u003e arrives in full worldwide. Pressed to a double-album vinyl edition, it features the album’s original 22 songs and includes rare and previously unseen photographs from \u003ci\u003eTomorrow Tomorrow and Tomorrow’\u003c\/i\u003es original recording session.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the words of Gary Smith and Rauf Galip, missing Bill Stratton, and abbreviated from the forthcoming album notes:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe chose five songs to record as finished pieces: Life, Spiritual Mansions, Cosmic Boxer, Strange Stairway, Isles of Sleep, all recorded in two studio sessions. We sent them out to try and get a record deal. There were few really independent labels back then and Punk was in the record labels’ ears. No deal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd now, Dead Oceans who have a lot of faith in Bill’s music wants to re- release the ‘Tomorrow’ album. A double vinyl package. Is there any more unreleased music for the fourth side? Of course. So, we’ve been opening old boxes, finding CDRs, cassettes, a musical archaeological dig. This is our choice from all the music we found.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dead Oceans","offers":[{"title":"Black LPx2","offer_id":50530518434123,"sku":"2173353","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50530518171979,"sku":"2173352","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/doc345.bf.tomorrow.fc.3000_1494cf5e_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728080348"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/bill-fay-group.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
