GORDON GILTRAP & PAUL WARD
“The Last of England” LP PR1006
A vinyl limited edition release of this wonderful collection of tunes from the legendary guitar player, Gordon Giltrap (update January 2019 – now Gordon Giltrap MBE). Gordon collaborated with Paul Ward, keyboard player and music producer to create this album partly inspired by the artwork from the pre-Raphaelite era. The title track also comes from the famous Ford Maddox Brown painting used on the cover. Gordon embarked on this project to celebrate his return to health after a major operation in 2016 and considers it as perhaps his best album yet.

Previously released on CD (Angel Air) in January 2017, the album has received great reviews already. Losing a couple of tracks to translate onto vinyl was a difficult decision, but it is more than compensated for hearing the sound on vinyl pressing and owning a beautiful LP which shows off the painting that inspired some of the music in a semi laminated luxury gatefold sleeve.
Comes on gorgeous deep orange vinyl; first 100 copies with a signed poster (Sold Out). 150 copies with unsigned poster and 250 standard copies.
