This is Tom Milsom's first full CD Album with thirteen original and uniquely memorable tracks showing a wide range of musical and lyrical variety. All songs were written, orchestrated, performed and recorded by Tom himself. This product is the physical CD sent to you by post.

The orginal run of 50 personalised CDs was completely sold out within 2 days so we have now got a professional studio and replication company to digitally re-master it to make everything perfect and produce a larger batch of CD's for us.

The new version has the same trracks, but sharpened up a bit, plus full colour printed CD and case plus a 12-page full-colour booklet of artwork and information from Tom plus all the lyrics for the songs - Enjoy!

You can also order any of the songs individually as MP3 downloads by clicking on the track links to the left.
