Following the original, digital only, release of Goats score for The Gallows Pole TV series, we are now thrilled to announce an expanded, ltd edition vinyl version. The Gallows Pole is a three-part Element Pictures production, written and directed by Shane Meadows which was aired in the UK on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer. This new vinyl version of the The Gallows Pole: Original Score differs from the previous digital release as it now only features the music which was specifically written for the series itself - it doesnt include the three, previously released back catalogue tracks. Instead, this vinyl edition contains three unused/unreleased tracks: Goat Witch, Timeless Awareness and Kampsang (instrumental). These tracks have not, up-to-now, been heard by anyone apart from Shane Meadows himself. The themes and imagery of Benjamin Myers source novel are the perfect fit for Goats mystical, pagan aesthetic. The story, based in rural 18th century Yorkshire, tells a fictionalised, psychedelic tale based on the true story of David Hartley and the Cragg Vale Coiners, which became the biggest fraud in British history. Rather than 'writing to picture' in the traditional way, Goat approached the creative process differently, explaining: "In the beginning, we would get inspiration just through reading the book, trying to get a sense of its vibration and then translate that into music, with passages from the book as a springboard for the initial jams." Goat were already fans of Meadows work, in particular Dead Mans Shoes and the various iterations of This Is England, and understood the importance of music to him, noting that: "Music is a central part to everything Shane has created" and describing the opportunity as a "blessing" when they were approached about the project.
