Between Today and Yesterday
Between Today and Yesterday is an autobiographical concept album released in 1974 by the English singer-songwriter Alan Price.
In its original LP format, Side One was titled "Yesterday" and Side Two was titled "Today." The "Yesterday" side featured six songs about the working class environment, in Northern England, in which Price was raised. The songs drew heavily from the music hall style. The "Today" side contained six songs about the more modern Price, performed in a more contemporary style.
The title track was written for the unreleased album Savaloy Dip, which was recorded prior to that but released in 2016.
The album was a commercial and critical success.
