First Collection

Album release First Collection (2003)

First Collection became The Long Stay’s first CD album and contains all the songs released on the previous EPs (Moody Day and In the way of all things). This album contains a wide ranging and distinctive set of songs. The first song to be released from the album to radio was It’s Never Over, a soft soulful track, which again made all the local play-listings.

In this album the band fully display their love of strong melody and major hook-lines together with a mature feel for arrangement. First Collection retains the band’s distinctly acoustic style.
