Vashti Bunyan’s ‘Lookaftering’ is 20 years old. To mark the occasion, and also Vashti’s 80th birthday, an expanded 2xLp gatefold edition is to be released. As well as the original studio album itself, the second LP features demo versions, alternate takes, and live performances of all the original album tracks.
This edition also comes with sleeve notes from Vashti, producer Max Richter, Devendra Banhart and a 16-page lyric booklet featuring a collection of paintings by Vashti's daughter Whyn Lewis – paintings that closely, and coincidentally, reflected the lyrics of the album.
