CD in Recycled Card Sleeve

Now available to the USA and Canada (and the rest of the world too) for the first time, in the form of a black vinyl-replica CD, simply packaged in a LIMITED EDITION hand assembled recycled manilla card sleeve with cover art.

Mendip Rock was released in the spring of 2008, and contains an extended cover version of the delightful Jagger/Richards authored foray into space rock, "2000 Light Years From Home", which originally appeared on the Stones' 1967 album, Their Satanic Majesties Request.

Mendip Rock was a download-only release, until now. The incompatibility of international licensing laws make it cost-prohibitive and difficult to sell the cover song as a download outside of the UK/Europe, so as a result there has been no way to purchase this EP from outside the UK until now. Fortunately, it's much easier to license CDs than downloads!

lyrics: I have the light all to myself here.
There are no shadows closing in.
Every candle here is blazing,
as if the night has never been.
As if the morning is forever,
and the afternoon a lie.
As if the twilight isn’t coming—
as if we will never die.

And splendid in her gypsy clothes,
Sunset opens like a rose.
And everything you think she knows,
like the light it comes and goes.

There is a volume on the mantle,
beneath the dust of many years.
Inside are pages never written,
and pages washed away by tears.
A catalogue of wasted moments;
a ledger of defeated souls.
Letters drawn in blood and tarnish,
drawn on paper made of holes.

And splendid in her gypsy clothes,
Sunset opens like a rose.
And everything you think she knows—
a door that opens, so shall close.

And the mask she wears is pure,
and the words she speaks are sure:

“Gifts you bring are hollow things.
The gifts you bring are hollow things.”

And splendid in her gypsy clothes,
Sunset opens like a rose.
And everything you think she knows
is in the face she never shows.
It’s in the face she never shows.
It’s in the face she never shows—
and like the light it comes and goes—
a door that opens, so shall close.
