National The

Cherry Tree EP National The Remastered edition

Released a year before The National

broke through with their third album

Alligator, 2004's Cherry Tree EP is a

thrilling record which - thanks to its

collection of delicate ballads and

anthemic crowd-pleasers - sums up

what they do best in under 30 minutes.

Now a fi rm fan-favourite, among

Cherry Tree's seven tracks are now National

classics 'About Today' and 'All The Wine',

plus a thrilling live version of 'Murder Me

Rachael' that reminds of the band's

fearsome early live performances.

Cherry Tree can be seen as the record that

marks the moment when The National

had truly found themselves, a bridge from

what went before to a band ready to

conquer the World. And with this new

master, it's never sounded better too.
