With all the sleeve notes I've written I tell the story of how the album came to be made, the impact it had and the legacy of the music. Each essay is usually 1200 words long — or more — and enhances the listening experience. If you'd like me to write notes for either a one-off album or a series of releases, drop me a line at sid@sidsmith.net for rates.
