Description:

Ian Broudie's beautiful solo debut Tales Told becomes available for the first time ever on vinyl and vinyl replica CD. The album was recorded in Liverpool during a series of sessions with members of The Coral and The Zutons. On it's original release in 2004, Tales Told marked a departure from Ian's previous work with The Lightning Seeds. Instead, Ian stripped his songwriting to it's bare fundaments, drawing on personal events in his life to create an album of tender, lovelorn ruminations. Ian is best known for his work with The Lightning Seeds, whose debut single Pure heralded a run of well-loved hits which included Sense, The Life of Riley, Marvellous, Lucky You, Change and You Showed Me. With The Lightning Seeds, Ian was also responsible for the multi-platinum single Three Lions, which in 2018 made chart history when it enjoyed it's fourth spell at number one - the most enjoyed by the same artist. Ian's role in the history of Liverpool's music scene over the last 40 years is impossible to overestimate. Since joining the founding line-up of Big In Japan, alongside Holly Johnson, Bill Drummond, Jayne Casey and Budgie, Ian went on to work on the first three Echo & The Bunnymen albums, collaborated with The Wild Swans' Paul Simpson in Care, produced albums by The Pale Fountains and Shack and also the first three albums by The Coral. The vinyl pressing of the album will come with a four-track seven-inch EP including 3 previously unavailable songs. For the first time, the album will also feature liner notes (written by Ian Broudie) and lyrics. All 4 bonus tracks are also included on the CD version. On it's original release in 2004, Mojo described it as an album "full of simple songs about complicated emotions." Awarding it four stars, it continued, "these stark, sweet confessionals easily rank among the best of [Broudie's] career."

Reissue of album in a gatefold card sleeve with 16-page booklet containing new liner notes by Ian Broudie, lyrics and new photos. Originally released in 2004. Issued on the new Needle Mythology label. Sticker on cover: "These stark, sweet confessionals easily rank among the best of his career."
