The temptation to mythologize Bill Fay can be overwhelming; Fay was, for decades, as prolific as he was under-appreciated. Fay's unsung-hero status has changed slowly, steadily, on the order of almost twenty-five years. With each&nbsp;new&nbsp;album comes&nbsp;new&nbsp;hosannas and evangelizers — Jeff Tweedy, Kevin Morby, Adam Granduciel and Julia Jacklin, to name just a few.

The Bill Fay Group, in particular, is Fay's most significant collaborative work; he records as a member of a larger group here, and the result summons a grander sonic scale, an elegant counterweight to Fay's instincts for the understated.&nbsp;Tomorrow Tomorrow and Tomorrow&nbsp;brings to bear the galactic qualities of early rock, the intricacy of jazz improv, and Fay's earthy folk magic.

Tomorrow Tomorrow and Tomorrow&nbsp;has a patchy&nbsp;release&nbsp;history: recorded between 1978 and 1981, it was not released until 2005, when it appeared on CD with limited streaming and no vinyl companion. A 2006 reissue brought the album onto vinyl but with a truncated sequence and nine songs missing. Now, finally,&nbsp;Tomorrow Tomorrow and Tomorrow&nbsp;arrives in full worldwide. Available on streaming services worldwide and pressed to a double-album vinyl edition, it features the album’s original 22 songs and includes rare and previously unseen photographs from&nbsp;Tomorrow Tomorrow and Tomorrow’s original recording session.

In the words of Gary Smith and Rauf Galip, missing Bill Stratton, and abbreviated from the forthcoming album notes: We chose five songs to record as finished pieces: "Life", "Spiritual Mansions", "Cosmic Boxer", "Strange Stairway", "Isles of Sleep", all recorded in two studio sessions. We sent them out to try and get a record deal. There were few really independent labels back then and Punk was in the record labels' ears. No deal.And now, Dead Oceans who have a lot of faith in Bill's music wants to re-release&nbsp;the 'Tomorrow' album. A double vinyl package. Is there any more unreleased music for the fourth side? Of course. So, we've been opening old boxes, finding CDRs, cassettes, a musical archaeological dig. This is our choice from all the music we found.Fly Like a Bird.
