A Little Man And A House And The Whole World Window was recorded with the 1987 line-up of Tim Smith, Jim Smith, Sarah Smith, William D. Drake, Tim Quy and Dominic Luckman, with the band working through the night to complete the album.
Band frontman Tim Smith died aged 59 in July 2020. In 2008 he’d suffered a heart attack during which he suffered a lack of oxygen to the brain, causing brain damage. He then developed the neurological condition dystonia. Percussionist and keyboard player Tim Quy died earlier this year.
