First Three Years is a compilation album by singer-songwriter Frank Turner, released in December 1, 2008 through Xtra Mile Recordings. The compilation is also included on the re-release of Love, Ire and Song, released January 26, 2009. The album itself is only available directly from Xtra Mile.
The album compiles material that does not appear on either of Turner's two studio albums, including tracks from early EP's, split singles, covers and unreleased material. The collection also includes a cover of "Smiling at Strangers on Trains" - Turner's former band, Million Dead's, first single.
The title and cover artwork reference the Black Flag album The First Four Years, a similar compilation of early material.

Where is your own opinion? this is merely taken from album description ... we can read it for ourselves without your copying the details (in fact, it is easier to read with the coloured background...)~ you don't get paid for reviews ... just for positive member ratings
