CD of Find The One in fold out card case with lyric poster on Prima Records

‘Find The One’ features (take deep breath) five new Sid Griffin songs, an astonishing campfire cover of David Bowie’s classic ‘Heroes’, a guest appearance by ex-Fairport Convention guitarist Richard Thompson as well as the first ever appearance of BBC radio legend Brian Matthew on an alt-country recording! To say nothing of a sitar and fiddle battle on the Rolling Stones’ immortal Paint It, Black. Yes, a real sitar.

Produced by the legendary John Wood, the man who recorded Fairport Convention in their glory days and who produced Nick Drake, Squeeze and Beth Orton, ‘Find The One’ was recorded in north London earlier this year.

It was mixed by Ed Stasium in Colorado USA, Ed being best known as Phil Spector’s main engineer and for his work with the Ramones. Stasium mastered it too so it is the best sounding Coal Porters recording ever done.
