Goodbye to the Age of Steam is Big Big Train's first album, originally released in 1994 on the GEP label. Goodbye to the Age of Steam has been unavailable for many years and is re-issued on 18th April 2011. To ensure the best possible audio quality, Goodbye to the Age of Steam has been re-mixed by Rob Aubrey from the original master-tapes. The re-issue includes new artwork and a 12-page booklet with lyrics and sleeve-notes. The re-issue also features three bonus tracks; an extended version of 'Losing Your Way', a previously unreleased track called 'Far Distant Thing' (taken from a 1993 radio session), and 'Expecting Dragons', a recording by the current BBT line-up which re-works some of the musical themes from Goodbye to the Age of Steam.
