• In celebration of James Yorkston’s 25 years on the label, Domino are proud to present ‘La Magnifica’, the definitive collection of James’s long and storied journey to date.
• The double album features not only career highlights from his 15 albums on the label, but also two additional brand-new tracks, ‘Hard Times Of Old Edinburgh’ and ‘The Time Was Short, But I was Happy’.
• ‘La Magnifica’ is a career-spanning retrospective featuring tracks from James’s earliest days with the Athletes, through his Yorkston / Thorne/ Khan experiments and finally onto his recent Swedish adventures via collaborations with Nina Persson and Johanna Söderberg.
• Blending songs from albums ranging from his debut ‘Moving Up Country’ to the Alexis Taylor-produced ‘The Cellardyke Recording and Wassailing Society’, ‘La Magnifica’ is a testament to James’s monolithic creative output.
• About the album, James states: “With this compilation I was trying to cover each era of my songwriting. ‘La Magnifica’, the song itself, is from the very, very beginning. The lyrics say, ‘What would you say If I offered this all up and moved like a wreck to the Neuk?’… which is what happened… And most of the songs on this compilation were written after I moved back home to the East Neuk.”
• 2CD with mini gatefold sleeve with lyric booklet.
