The Man Who
20th Anniversary Edition

Description
The Man Who sounds as fresh today as it did then. One of the most successful British albums of the last 20 years, it spawned the timeless singles, “Writing to Reach You,” “Driftwood,” “Turn,” and possibly the band’s most iconic song, “Why Does It Always Rain on Me?” Produced by Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, U2, Pavement), The Man Who spent an astonishing 11 weeks at Number One in the UK, going on to sell 3.5 million copies worldwide. Critical recognition quickly followed including Ivor Novello Awards for Best Songwriter and Best Contemporary Song for “Why Does It Always Rain on Me?” and BRIT Awards for Best British Band and Best British Album.

This expanded edition on two CDs features a bonus disc with 19 B-sides and live performances hand-selected by the band.

Live At Glastonbury '99

Description
This is the first ever release of this pivotal performance by British alt-rock band Travis, timed around the 20th anniversary of the show and their breakthrough album, The Man Who. When The Man Who appeared in 1999, it eclipsed Travis’ previous successes, going platinum six times in the U.K., and going on to sell 3.5M copies worldwide, spawning more hit singles such as “Why Does It Always Rain On Me?” and “Writing To Reach You.” This Glastonbury performance became legendary, when, as Travis began to perform their song “Why Does It Always Rain On Me?” (after several hours of sunny weather), it began to rain exactly as the first line of the song was sung.

Tracklist
1. Blue Flashing Light
2. The Fear
3. Writing To Reach You
4. Good Feeling
5. U16 Girls
6. As You Are
7. Why Does It Always Rain On Me?

12. More Than Us
13. Driftwood

I'll get this, Travis is (was) such an excellent group. Have many of their recordings. '99 was a great period for them.

Craft is going all-in for the 20th anniversary of Travis' work in 1999, also releasing a 2CD expanded version of their studio album The Man Who. I've added pre-order details for that release to the first post. Now we'll be getting all of Travis' 1999 recordings along with that year's Glasto appearance.
