So you get the LP on vinyl and a unique artwork by me in one; I've painted over the sleeve in oils to create this homage to a Paul Nash painting called Flight of the Magnolia. Plus you get an archival quality print of the image here, and I've signed the label on the disc.

Today is the 100th birthday of Richard Burton!

And this house is his birthplace, in Pontrhydyfen. You'll know the viaduct behind him; he's crossing it with his father in the iconic 1950s photographs by Raymond Kleboe
