Hamilton Yarns are an exceptional band with a pretty huge and incredible back catalogue. If you’re unsure where to start, though they seem like a very unlikely band to have one available, where better than a greatest hits?!
Hamilton Yarns’s Iain Paxon said, “yeh, we’ve been recording music for 10 years now, and thought a greatest hits collection would be a fun way of marking the occasion. We have not technically had any hits whatsoever but we have amassed a mass of music over this time, which has now been carefully sifted and filtered and the +best bits+ picked out and put together here for you, sequenced in a non-chronologically logical listen over 2 x 40 minute CDs, packaged inside a homemade gatefold sleeve…..”
ALSO, you get a limited edition screen printed commemorative Tea-towel, all for just £12.50. You can see the full tracklisting and buy the CD here.
