The centrepiece of the record is The Romantic Tees – a self-penned piece devised by Adrian McNally, inspired by the poetry of the late Teesside writer Graeme Miles, written to accompany a part of the film called Launch – the beautiful, iconic, cult 1973 film made by Amber Films. The album was the last of three Diversions volumes released inside a prolific 12 month period, and with little time to squeeze it in, The Unthanks recorded most of the album during a tour, finding Vale Studios more or less ‘on route’; an old country house in Worcestershire converted into a studio full of vintage gear and mics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RabbleRouser Music","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":57559249486155,"sku":"R4174-3836","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2000x2000bb_0518ef42-4f1d-4322-842b-9ca548f34260.jpg?v=1781200859","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/diversions-vol-3-songs-from-the-shipyards","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
