Mike Ross’ Legendary ‘Lost’ Album

Written by on January 12, 2021

mike rossBack in 1998, Mike Ross’ band ‘Taller Than’ recorded a 12-track album which, for various reasons, was never mixed or properly finished. For over twenty years, the original 2″ master tapes were hidden away and all hope of finding either the time or finances to complete the project had long since been abandoned.

Enter Covid-19 and the extreme disruption the pandemic has brought to touring (and most other aspects of ‘normal’ life).  Attention turned from the road to the tape vault and a decision was made to reach out to the public to help restore, remix and release the forgotten ‘Taller Than’ classic.

As is often now the way in these days of grassroots support, a crowdfunding project was duly set up in the early January of 2021 and in just the first week, it had reached over 50% of the £4000 target!

This triggered the next phase of the campaign, namely having the tapes restored and transferred to digital format so that editing and mixing could begin.

The final goal is to produce a deluxe package, which will include a vinyl album with accompanying CD as well as a unique collection of items such as photographs, reproductions of the original tape track sheets, studio invoices etc.

Pre-order packages, along with a selection of other merch and memorabilia items, are available from https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/taller-than
