Despite being the crown prince of outsider sounds, Daniel Johnston found himself celebrated by the alternative music community in his lifetime. These twenty-one brilliant BBC sessions from 2003 to 2011 capture what was so magic about the man, so it only seems fitting to bring them all together for a double vinyl collection. Featuring cult favourites like Devil Town, Walking The Cow, Speeding Motorcycle, and three different takes of the heartbreaker True Love Will Find You In The End, this is a real gift for the Dan-fans. - Flying Out
Daniel Johnston’s legacy is legendary. The quintessential DIY artist started his career in Austin, TX whilst hawking cassettes from his day job at McDonald’s - he brought some into Rough Trade West one day. The rest, as they say, is history and fans of US alternative music from the 1980s onwards know about his work and the people he went on to inspire. This album collects Daniel’s radio sessions recorded for the BBC - a project inspired by BBC Radio 6 Music’s Marc Riley, and the tracks have been licensed from the BBC and approved by Daniel’s family, management and charity. The sessions were spread across an eight-year period with two sessions for Rob Da Bank and three with Marc Riley (both of whom are executive producers of this album). A few bootleg recordings of these sessions have been available across the years but now they have been lovingly mastered and cut by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road Studios in London. Daniel was a lifelong fan of The Beatles and the overwhelming consensus from those who knew him was that he would be so proud and excited to have his music mastered above the legendary Studio 2 at Abbey Road.
