They own the records already. Almost no band I have mapped manages that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper, textured matte, archival and acid-free.

Thirty-five years and not one break in any of those four lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJeremy Cunningham carries a second credit almost the whole way across as well, because he does the album artwork, which I don't get to draw very often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlan Miles plays on the first two records and then leaves, and Simon Friend arrives at Levelling the Land in 1991 and has been there since. Matt Savage takes the keyboard chair across the later albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZeitgeist carries the credit fans always stop at. Joe Strummer plays the piano on Just the One.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElsewhere, the branch lines are exactly what you would hope for from this band, with Jem Finer of the Pogues on hurdy-gurdy, Steve Boakes on didgeridoo across several records, Callum Williams on bagpipes and Eddi Reader on backing vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe, the Collective, bring in the London Metropolitan Orchestra, and the Kick Horns appear on two separate albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do I make each print?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach one is a Giclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper with a textured matte finish, archival and acid-free, so the colours hold for years.
