The unique performance of the album was seen by a select audience and was broadcast on BBC Radio 2 on the evening of Saturday 31st January. The show saw the band play new and exclusive versions of the songs from the album in order. They were joined (as on the album) by Richard Hawley for The Fix.
The Seldom Seen Kid Live At Abbey Road is now available to buy as a limited edition package exclusively through the band's website at www.elbow.co.uk
The package includes not only a CD, but also a DVD of the entire show alongside four postcard portraits of the band in Studio One at Abbey Road, and an album booklet containing exclusive photos. Orders will be taken from January 29th with copies sent out in March. This version of the Seldom Seen Kid will be limited to direct orders only and no copies will be available in the shops.
Soon after this recording, The Seldom Seen Kid secured a second major honour in the shape of the South Bank Award for Best Album.
Elbow are now nominees for three BRIT Awards at this year's ceremony in the form of Best Group, Best Album and Best Live Act, making The Seldom Seen Kid the success story of 2008.
