2022 US Record Store Day limited edition double album on pink vinyl
Limited to 900 copies
In 1988, the world's leading post-modern polka band Brave Combo
answered a call to accompany ‘60s falsetto superstar Tiny Tim on what
was intended to be a comeback album. Finally released in 1996, Girl is
one of the most phenomenal albums of Tiny Tim's unlikely 45 year career.
It features the charismatic crooner's takes on classics like "Stairway
to Heaven," "New York, New York," and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," all
performed in his inimitable style. Sadly, Tiny's long-awaited comeback
album would be his swan song as the Eternal Troubadour succumbed to a
fatal heart attack a few short months after the album's release.
This double-LP 25th anniversary edition is mastered from original source
materials and features a second disc comprised of never-before-heard
alternate mixes and outtakes, including Tiny Tim's previously unreleased
versions of "Blue Moon," "Across the Universe," and "Ob-La-Di,
Ob-La-Da." In addition to deluxe gatefold packaging, the set will
feature a comprehensive booklet comprised of rare photos,
never-before-seen archival materials and brand-new liner notes from
producer Big Bucks Burnett, Tiny Tim's "Eternal Princess" and muse
Stephanie Bohn, Brave Combo band leader Carl Finch, Tiny Tim biographer
Justin Martell, and others
