2LP – Limited Edition Clear Vinyl. Includes download card.

To celebrate the release of the new book ‘Passing a Message: The Lyrics and Artwork of Conor J. O’Brien‘, Domino is repressing Villagers‘ back catalogue with a new range of coloured vinyl. ‘Passing a Message‘ presents the lyrics of over 80 songs from the Villagers songbook with Conor’s drawings, photographs and previously unseen notebook lyric drafts.
