David J’s (Love and Rockets / Bauhaus / The Jazz Butcher) ninth studio album Vagabond Songs features a disarmingly charming and heart-felt collection of acoustic songs written on the road and inspired by people and places encountered by David J as he ventured on his ramblin’ vagabond way around the world. The limited edition gatefold double vinyl album includes the UK hit single, “The Day That David Bowie Died” as well as a radical reworking of the Love and Rockets’ classic, “The Dog End of a Day Gone By”. The double LP comes in a special casewrapped gatefold jacket with two full color sleeves filled with lyrics and art, the color of the vinyl records is a mixture of opaque and translucent colors that match the gatefold jacket’s artwork. The run is limited to 500 copies (350 colored vinyl, 150 black vinyl).
