What is "guitararama"

Guitararama is the first studio album by Stephen Dale Petit released on June 2, 2008.

The album was both inspired and funded by Petit’s time spent performing as part of the Licensed Busking scheme on the London Underground in 2003. Speaking to EarlyBlues.com, Petit commented: "It was hard but ultimately it led to me recording Guitararama. People stopped me down there and said "Can I buy this?" but I had nothing to sell so after a few months I thought I’d better set about recording some music."

Guitararama was recorded over an 18 month period and financed entirely by busking. It was released independently by Petit in late 2006. The album's first pressing was initially available only on the London Underground, before being taken on by major UK commercial retailers and online outlets. This rare original has sold out and is a highly sought-after collectors item for blues fans. Due to high demand, Guitararama was re-packaged and re-released on 2 June 2008, under 333 Records, with 3 extra bonus tracks added ("Blues Fom Mars", "Bad Road Blues" and "A Better Answer"). The album is in a Digipak format with 16 page colour booklet featuring photography from street photographer John Gladdy.
