What the label says:

A set of cover versions of songs by some of bandleader Andy Cabic’s favourite artists, the album offers a joyful and intriguing insight into some of the music that has inspired and informed the band, whilst remaking the songs very much in their own image and existing as a stunning and coherent opus in its own right. Andy wanted to share songs which were favourites of his and his circle of friends, and perform them with a reverence and appreciation for their finer qualities; the lyrical and sonic nuances which keep him returning to them time and again for inspiration.   The album includes contributions from two of Andy’s heroes, Vashti Bunyan (who duets on ‘Sleep A Million Years’) and Michael Hurley (who does likewise on his own ‘Blue Driver’).
‘A Thing Of The Past’ will appeal to fans of Vashti Bunyan, Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom, amongst others, as well as classic rock acts such as Neil Young, Creedence Clearwater Revival, et al, plus similar projects such as Cat Power’s ‘Jukebox’ album.

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
