Colossus was initially released as a download project that consisted of 50 tracks all of which were 50 minutes long. It was completed on 11th March 2019, Liles' 50th Birthday. Part One and Two of the download version combined are over 41 hours of 'music'. The 'songs' are extreme, simple, complex, mellow, angular and often surreal adaptations of every single hit from the last 50 years that was at Number One in the UK charts on Liles' birthday. This LP version is an instrumental, edited and consolidated collection of all 50 tracks in chronological order cut into 50 second extracts. Limited to 300 copies, the LP is packaged in a high gloss laminated sleeve and has a printed lined inner. Cover photography by Davide Pepe.
