Frank Turner's First Three Years

Folk hero Frank Turner will showcase the triage of years which started his solo-career with a retrospective encompassing his many EPs as well as a fair few unreleased tracks.

Coming via Xtra Mile Recordings on December 1, 2008 the 23 track (or 24 if purchased digitally) album will pull songs from the Campfire Punkrock and Real Damage E.Ps as well as the Truck Sessionsand Softcore Tour releases.

The Bahrain/English singer will also take his positive folk on the road with The Levellers and The Gaslight Anthem over the next few months.
