Mike Batt steps back into his "artist" role with this new release of fresh recordings of his most well-known hits. "A Songwriter's Tale" comprises 16 tracks which represent some of the key songs of his life as a performer and writer. Batt sold hundreds of thousands of albums around the world in the 70s, 80s and 90s as a signed artist to Epic, for which label he made 6 solo albums. The new album also contains songs written and produced by him for other artists such as Art Garfunkel, Cliff Richard, etc.
This new album spearheads an imminent re-release by Dramatico of the former Epic albums in remastered two-album packs. The “Batt catalogue” - (Mike Batt Archive Series), which will also include his scores for "Caravans" and "The Hunting Of The Snark" amongst others, will be released worldwide during March, April and May, 2008.

Mike Batt said, "The new album has given me the chance to reinterpret some of my more well-known material. It's like a retrospective exhibition for a painter, but doing the paintings over again. I'm enjoying this return to performing, and after a short tour in Germany shall be doing more concerts during the year in other territories including the UK."
