Cover Version, the album, collects all the material issued on the limited edition Cover Version singles series released between 2003-2010. The 12 tracks comprise six Steven Wilson originals and six covers and provide an essential insight into both Wilson's musical taste and his evolution as a solo artist.

In March 2003 Steven Wilson released Cover Version, a limited edition 2 track CD single. This was the first piece to be released under Wilson's own name (following an illustrious career as a member of Porcupine Tree and No-Man, and recording under various guises such as IEM and Bass Communion), and comprised completely solo performances, stripped back to acoustic guitar, piano and voice.

The single was made up of one cover version, along with one new, original composition. Replicating this format, over the next seven years, Wilson released a further five singles as part of the series.

Each of the CD singles were strictly limited. The final release (Cover Version VI) came in a special box housing all six CDs, with artwork designed by Carl Glover and a booklet of portraits of Steven by Hajo Mueller. Subsequently, an even more limited run of 7" singles were also pressed. Inevitably, as Wilson's popularity has grown - both through his work with Porcupine Tree and his hugely successful solo career - these long deleted releases have become much sought-after by collectors.

Cover Version, the album, re-packages this intriguing part of Wilson's career for a new generation of listeners.

Steven Wilson’s cover of ABBA’s 'The Day Before You Came' can be heard on the latest episode of the Kscope Podcast, listen below (for this and previous podcasts check out the podcast page):

Pressed on double heavyweight (180g) vinyl, the gatefold artwork has been 'remixed' from the box design by Carl Glover.

A CD and Digital release will be released on 30th June 2014

Steven Wilson - The Day Before You Came (ABBA Cover from Cover Version)

***RIP to a beautiful songsmith and poet. May his songs ring on through the universe forever*

Okay this is the last cover I will probably record for a good few years now- needed to get this recorded purely because it is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. My eyes are covering his because I wanted to represent my interpretation of the song through his eyes, rather than my own.

I thank my dad for introducing me to this. Thanks Dad x x x

A cover of 'Oh Well' live by Fleetwood Mac.

Fleetwood Mac - Oh Well (Live Cover)

Fenesta ca lucive e mo nun luce,
The light that shined in her window shines no more

Sign'è ca nenna mia stace malata
A sign that my beloved is very sick.

S'affaccia la sorella e mme lu dice:
I asked her sister, who told me:

"Nennella toja è morta e s'è atterrata"
Your girl is dead and buried!

Chiagneva sempe ca durmeva sola,
She cried because she slept alone,

Mo dorme co' li muorte accompagnata
Mo dorme co' li muorte accompagnata
And now she sleeps in the arms of death! 

Addio fenesta, restate 'nzerrata,
Goodbye, window.  Stay closed!

Ca nenna mia mo nun se po' affacciare!
Because I can never speak to my girl again.

Io cchiù nun passarraggio de' 'sta strata.
I'll never walk down this street again.

Vaco a lo camposanto a passiare.
I'll go to the graveyard instead!

Zì parrocchiano mio, tienence cura:
Oh, priest, take care! 

'Na lampa sempe tienece allummata!
'Na lampa sempe tienece allummata!
And always keep a candle lit for her.
