"The Definitive Collection" is a retrospective of the first 5 years of Tom's independent recording career. The album opens with 3 brand new tracks recorded exclusively for this collection. The album carries on with more new recordings, these being better quality re-makes of songs from Tom's first 2 albums. The collection is set-up mainly in reverse chronological order, with brand new recordings first, followed by songs from Tom's latest album "Taking Me Back," going all the way back to Tom's eponymous debut album. Also included are updated versions of "Lovely One" and "You Are Here," featuring new and improved drum tracks. The first disc closes with "Help Them See," a previously unreleased outtake from the "Taking Me Back" album. Clocking in at nearly 2 hours, "The Definitive Collection" is an extensive collection showcasing Tom's very best material so far!
