{"product_id":"teatime-assortment-vinyl","title":"Teatime Assortment [Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince before he was even able to play an instrument, Martin Newell was messing around with home-recordings. Having grown up in the Far East, Newell returned to his home of England at age 13 with just a little 3-inch spool tape-recorder and his first guitar. At age 14 he wrote his first song, not even knowing any chords. His song writing continued through is teens and into his 20s, when he purchased a Sony reel-to-reel recorder and 12 string guitar. It is this early songwriting that led him working with a wide variety of musicians, recording in beautiful studios and forming his many projects such as Cleaners from Venus and Brotherhood of Lizards. But it was this early songwriting and recording that led him to find that he was happiest when recording by himself, with minimal equipment. As Newell often says, \"Actually, I preferred the demos\". Having upgraded himself from reel-to-reel to a Tascam Pocketstudio and digitizing some of his archaic recording knowledge, Newell set out to begin home recording again. The tracks on this collection run from 2010 to mid 2014. Some are recordings loosely based on movie themes and soundtracks for imaginary films. Some are instrumentals from a collection called The Late District, while others are from a recent album Return to Bohemia, which saw a small release in England. This recent resurgence in creative strength, along with the success and newfound popularity of Cleaners from Venus, have all led up to Teatime Assortment. Think of it as a \"Best of New Newell\". A true wordsmith, Newell himself has put simply why one might be compelled to take a listen here: \"If you're the sort of person who likes this kind of thin, then this is the sort of thing you'll probably like.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWake Up and Dream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGhost of Jenni Rainbyrd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnglish Electric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunken City\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSt. Overdoes-On-Sea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecret Stations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll the Lights in This House\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDear Wesley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShabby Heart 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Stars on a Tray 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack in the Day 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarol for 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEssex Girls 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaturday Games 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwinkie 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdol 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Lost Summer 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunnytown Way 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHe's Goin Out with Marilyn 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Days of Mary 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Royal Bank of Love 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe King of the Sixties 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime We Talked Again 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImaginary Seas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 817949011451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Captured Tracks Rec.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.21.15\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Martin Newell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58291607666769,"sku":"132179","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/2864428.jpg?v=1760731128","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/es\/products\/teatime-assortment-vinyl","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
