The Albion Band, Before Us Stands Yesterday

1999 (HTD Records HTD CD 90)

Splendido album, registrato da Ken Nicol al Tone Deaf Studios, Preston, England, nel Dicembre 1998, Gennaio 1999 e febbraio 1999. Tra i brani, spiccano due bellissime composizioni del violinista  Joe Broughton ("Bedtime at Bryn Rodhyn" e "Directions") ma anche "Listen to the winds" di Gillie Nicholls è davvero apprezzabile. Curata la confezione a cominciare dall'idea di copertina (un vecchio grammofono sul quale gira un cd), opera dell'artista Nick Jefferson.
