I Tell a Fly is the forthcoming second album by English artist and poet Benjamin Clementine. It follows his Mercury Prize-winning debut album, At Least for Now. According to a press release, the album was written and produced by Clementine, recorded at RAK Studios. It is due to be released on 29 September 2017 in Europe and 2 October in the United States.
This set contains all five volumes of the legendary We Can Fly series in an individually numbered limited edition of 1000. There are over 130 tracks here, which have been remastered for this release, sounding better than ever. Although a few pops and clicks remain, showing up the vinyl source of the material, the overall sound quality is very good.
