Christmas comes early for Frank Turner fans

Christmas comes early for Frank fans as a special collection of his songs are brought together for ‘The First Three Years’ album released on 1st December through the Xtra Mile Recordings.

The First Three Years album is 23 tracks long, encompassing past releases, album out-takes, early demos, b-sides, live session tracks and previously unreleased tunes.

Starting with ‘The Real Damage’ from the Xtra Mile Recordings Single Sessions of January 2006, right through to live favourites specifically recorded for this album, this is a nostalgic look back at the days that have seen Frank play in the back of a pub handing out home-recorded demos, to him playing to 12,000 people at the Reading/Leeds Festival 2008.

In that time Frank has played over 500 shows, sold over 20,000 copies of his two albums, been nominated for a XFM New Music Award, sold out UK headline tours and toured across Europe and America.

Turner's recent and largest UK headline tour completely sold out; further tours and releases are planned for the New Year.
