Release notes:

The Wassail EP was released just ahead of the band’s first live performances for many years at Kings Place in London, August 2015. The EP featured three new songs. One of these (Wassail) was destined to feature on the Folklore album (due for release in 2016). The other two new tracks were written specifically for the EP. There was also a bonus track of a live performance from the Real World rehearsals which took place in 2014. The Wassail EP was the first time that Big Big Train worked with artist Sarah Louise Ewing who has provided artwork for all subsequent studio releases.
