Beth Orton - Central Reservation (Deluxe Edition) (1999/2014)

Originally released in 1999 as a follow up to the acclaimed 'Trailer Park' and received a Mercury Music Prize nomination, helping Beth earn a BRIT Award in 2000 for Best British Female. The album also features in the book, '1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die'. The album features the hit singles 'Stolen Car' and 'Central Reservation' and is now re-issued with a second disc of material compiled by Beth. It features key b-sides, including the Spiritual Life Ibadon remix of title track 'Central Reservation' plus unreleased live recordings and demos. The expanded packaging features brand new sleevenotes including a new interview with Beth. "A space cowgirl with a stolen car heart, Beth remembers: listening back to the record now, I enjoy hearing the melodies and how I played with them and the words. The making of records is often a period of redemption for me and the recording of Central Reservation was the actualizing of all my most positive thoughts".
