Tom Jones, OBE (born 7 June 1940, Treforest, Pontypridd, Glamorgan, Wales) is a Welsh singer. He started his career as the frontman for a Welsh beat group and quickly gained popularity with hits like "It's Not Unusual". By the end of the 1960s, Jones was a top Las Vegas headliner and sold out venues worldwide.

In addition to his successful music career, Jones also had an internationally acclaimed television show called "This Is Tom Jones" from 1969 to 1971. Despite a decline in record sales during the mid-1970s, he remained a highly sought-after live performer. In fact, he was the first solo artist to sell out [l240090] in 1970.

Jones made a comeback in the late 1980s with songs like "A Boy From Nowhere" and his collaboration with [a7142] on "Kiss", which became a worldwide hit. Throughout the 1990s, he continued to collaborate with various artists and released his most successful album to date, "Reload", which reached No.1 in the UK charts multiple times.

With over 400 million records sold worldwide and numerous accolades including being knighted for his services to music in 2006, Tom Jones is one of the biggest selling artists of all time. His enduring talent has solidified him as

Extended CD version of Surrounded By Time (The Hourglass Edition) through EMI. On its release earlier this year, Surrounded By Time achieved the Number One position on the album charts, firmly cementing the working relationship that both he and producer Ethan Johns have cultivated since 2010’s Praise and Blame. At the age of 81 Tom is the oldest male solo artist to achieve this ranking (with new material) whilst at the same time receiving some of his best reviews to date, with the critics running out of superlatives. In terms of a sixty year career, this is an incredible achievement. Surrounded by Time marks out new territory with a diverse selection of tracks that have impacted Tom over what has been an extraordinary career.

This release consists of CD1 with original album audio and CD2 which includes two new tracks, Not Dark Yet and the fittingly titled One Hell Of A Life. Additionally, there are four live tracks recorded at this summer’s album showcase at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire, book-ended with a captivating conversation with journalist and broadcaster Peter Paphides, exploring the album’s birth and creation along with life through lockdown.
