Born in the UK (Swe)

Limited Edition import vinyl LP pressing in a gatefold sleeve of this 2006 release. Damon Gough, the British singer/songwriter known as Badly Drawn Boy, will release his fifth studio album, "Born in the U. K.," via Astralwerks. Working with more than 60 demos, Gough eventually wound up making an album quite different than he'd originally planned. The 13-track "Born in the U. K." offers a much fuller sound than its predecessor, 2004's "One Plus One Equals One." "(That album) was very introverted," he said. "I think this is more accessible, a bit more mainstream. I never use choruses that people could sing along to. But my personal challenge was to make something that could be accepted in a wider fan base." EMI.
