The Pineapple Thief: Live at the 013

Brand new live album available now  Recorded at their recent sell out show at the 013 in Tilburg, this exclusive release features 13 songs from the band’s current set, clocking in at over 72 minutes. The album was mixed by Bruce Soord and Mark Bowyer and captures the intense energy of their live performance while retaining the fidelity you have come to expect from TPT releases. Bruce says: ‘I’m really proud of the recording. Nowadays, so many artists release safe, bland live albums that, to me, just sound like studio albums with canned applause. Ours is a live recording!’. The release also comes with a 20 page PDF booklet. Have a listen to a special preview to hear for yourself. All proceeds from sales are channelled directly back into Team TPT to fund bigger and better tours and albums. The release is priced from just £7 (around €8.42 / $11.22) and can be ordered now from the TPT Store. The release is available to download in MP3 and 24bit WAV formats. We also have a special edition USB stick to pre-order containing both MP3s and WAVs.

This is probably the most collectible TPT item out there and changes hands for quite a bit of money.  Only 1000 were ever made and many were lost, as this was released well before TPT became known to most of you. Apart from the fact it has 2CDs (the 8 Days album), the only mark that distinguishes it from its single CD sibling is the catalog number: CYCL129D.  The first 3 donors (minimum £5 donation) drawn at random on February 1st will get to choose their prize (first winner gets first choice). You can donate and subsequently be eligible for the draw at Bruce’s Justgiving webpage.  All he asks is that the minimum donation to be eligible for the competition is £5. You can follow Bruce’s daily progress through his dryathlon, plus keep up to date with his TPT activities by following him on Twitter. That’s all for now folks.  Coming soon, details of a full European tour in March plus brand new EP release! TPT HQ
