Wilderlands by Paul Nagle
This was to be my first vinyl release but the usual nonsense happened.
Here I've included the bonus tracks tagged on for the Neuharmony CDR release. Not totally sure they work but not totally sure they don't. Not being totally sure is a good theme for me, much more than all this concept stuff.
I still have fond memories of this album, for many reasons not least that it was recorded in a proper studio with a nice list of musicians.
The Wilderlands tracks date from 1987, the final 5 tracks from a few years later when I was using an Atari and had stupidly stopped getting people to play things for me.
