Long out of print, since way back when,

The Gorey End is back again,

On vinyl now, but alas! not clean:

Some copies are a Gorey green...

Originally released in 2003, The Gorey End quickly sold out and has been unavailable since, helped in no small part by its nomination for a Grammy (best classical crossover album) and the brief stage run featuring Eleanor Bron and other hands. Unpublished works by Edward Gorey were adapted to song lyrics by Martyn Jaques, keeping to the author's inimitable style, with the Tiger Lillies' music added to by the Kronos Quartet on most of the tracks. This release reissues the full album on vinyl, with a lyrics insert featuring Gorey artwork, in a split-colour limited edition: the first 200 copies only are in Gorey Green, the remainder being Bat Black.

We expect keen interest for this much-desired title and are inviting pre-orders now.

Copies are due to arrive with us in the first week of March so orders will be shipped out from then, and please also note that the Gorey Green version will not be available in shops or anywhere else, and is exclusively for sale here.

ABOUT

Writer and illustrator Edward Gorey enjoyed “Banging in the Nails” so much he sent us a large box of his unpublished stories, some of which we adapted and turned into songs. But sadly, before he could hear them, Mr Gorey died. Here are the songs, with the Kronos Quartet providing strings and barks, now reissued on vinyl.
