2 CD EMI are proud to release an extended CD version of Surrounded By Time (The Hourglass Edition) on December 3rd . 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 & Blame.
