The Dream Academy / The Morning Lasted All Day: 2CD retrospective

The Morning Lasted All Day is a new Dream Academy retrospective compiled by frontman Nick Laird-Cowes.

Best remembered for 1985’s Life In Northern Town in, the band released three studio albums in the years that followed, eventually disbanding in 1991.

Many of their songs on were co-produced with Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour and this new two-CD collection contains five previously unreleased recordings, including a brand new track.

Laird-Cowes has really got involved here, because not only has he remastered the music, but he has written a track-by-track annotation and an essay for the notes.

The Morning Lasted All Day is out on 28 July 2014.
