Travis will kick off the new year with the release of their second single from the critically acclaimed album Ode To J Smith.
Song To Self will be released on January 5th and will be available via digital download and on limited 7” vinyl. Both formats include The Ballad Of J Smith, a new song unavailable elsewhere.
The 7" features a special extended version of Song To Self containing a whole new musical section, and the first 200 orders received for the vinyl format will be signed by Travis.
A live favourite of the band and fans at recent shows, Song To Self sees Travis at their intimately anthemic best.

Anyways b sides for the UK next single (S2S) are under the belt. A song called "The Ballad Of J. Smith" and a rambling accoustic busk called "Lock Me Up".
What happened to Lock Me Up?
So there won't be a CD single of Song To Self, just on download and vinyl that practically no one can play?
Ah well, at least we're getting The Ballad Of J. Smith! |

| I hope the first pre-orders are still valid! The item vanished for a while from the shop, but I did get a confirmation already on 25th November. |

Disappointed with no CD release.
I also hope those early pre-orders stick! I did get the confirmation too so it should be ok. :)
Also wondering where Lock Me Up is. B sides for another single? Next album? Mmm... |

| I just bought the vinyl ad the digital downloads, I bought the £1.58 ones, this means it has Song To Self and Ballad of J.Smith doesn't it? I hope so anyway lol. It only came up as Song To Self Download but the £1.58 one should contain both songs shouldn't it as it had Song TO Self for 70 odd pence and Ballad of J.Smith for the same so I just payed the £1.58 for both but then it only came back Song TO Self Download for £1.58 but that should contain both songs in a bundle shouldn't it? |

Er, if I've read that right, yes I suppose so. It would be a bit pricey for one song. |

There are a lot of people (like me) that did a pre order, later the item vanished.
What happened? does the first pre orders valids for the signed item? |

I didn't see the first set of orders but I've ordered my vinyl (just like J.Smith) still don't have a player yet though, LOL.
Would love a signed copy since so far I haven't been one of the lucky ones :-(
Fingers crossed I ordered early enough! |

| I've only just noticed that the vinyl is limited to 1000 copies so it's mildly rare like the J. Smith one. Get your copies now while stocks last! ;) |
