Best Of

Reissue. Two CD set. May 2017 marked Chris T-T's 20th anniversary making music. The same week in 1997 that Tony Blair came to power, Chris moved to London and before the end of May he'd played his first solo gigs and self-released his debut 7 single. Shortly after, Chris home recorded and self-released his debut album Beatverse on a MiniDisc four-track with no computer. Beatverse was barely distributed but won Chris label interest and Radio 1 plays from Steve Lamacq, who championed the song 'Shit From All Angles' on the Evening Session. Over two decades since then, Chris T-T has always walked his own path, with visionary psych pop, startling humour and unflinching, sometimes discomforting radicalism. He's released 10 solo albums to consistent praise and played over 2,300 shows worldwide. Ten years ago he joined the Xtra Mile Recordings family, signing in 2007 on the suggestion of fast-rising young singer and fan Frank Turner. This imaginatively titled double CD Best Of. Disc #1 focuses on Chris's most loved songs from over the years and Disc #2 is a rarities collection of Chris's favourite studio recordings that haven't been released on CD before. For fans of: Frank Turner, Beans On Toast, Carter USM.
