  • Limited Edition Gatefold Vinyl
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Sunstone Records are proud to present a limited vinyl press of the second album ‘The Greatest Show on Earth‘ by our favourite, North Lakes troubadours Kontiki Suite.

    After initially approaching the band as fans this is the realisation of something incredibly special - their 2012 debut ‘On Sunset Lake’ was and still is a favourite and to be involved in the follow up is a majestic feeling – musically and lyrically it feels like a follow up to the debut with
    added colour and swagger: think Byrds / Emitt Rhodes / Brewer and Shipley / Beachwood Sparks / Teenage Fanclub

    The LP will be housed in a wonderful Luke Insect designed gatefold with a free digital download. This is the sound of deep Northern England and the bands love of melody, harmony, country rock and psychedelia takes us to the next level of their trip.

    Includes unlimited streaming of The Greatest Show On Earth via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Maybe one day I will run away
From everything that I know
And when I come back
I will sit right here and write a song 'bout it all
It’d be bittersweet

And it would be nice to pass the time
Now's the time I could pass
But you can't claim it back

Maybe one day I will hide away
From all the songs in my head
In the silence of night
I'll be free from all the melody and the rhyme
I'll be free from the sound

And it would be nice to pass the time
Now's the time I could pass
But you can't claim it back

And all I do is listen out
All alone on the road I shout
'Cause the sound is all it's about
And my days fill with doubt
