What the label says:

Between 2005 and 2007, former Hefner front man, Darren Hayman released four EPs detailing his British Holidays. Darren would take ukuleles, minidisks and casio keyboards to caravan parks, Butlins and B and Bs. The songs are sweet and tender, lo-fi vignettes about lost youth, faded photographs and half-understood Britishness. As well as painting a loving portrait of places we may have thought forgotten, the songs also reveal Haymans own fears of growing older and wanting to pull on the reigns of time. All the sold out EPs are featured here as well as 3 newly recorded cover versions of famous holiday songs; V.A.C.A.T.I.O.N. by Connie Francis, Holiday Road (the theme from National Lampoons Vacation) by Lyndsey Buckingham and Margate by Chas and Dave. The CD also comes with a DVD featuring 5 beautiful videos, shot by Darren himself and a documentary on the making of the album.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
