FTD World

The two-volume discography book on the Follow That Dream catalog by David Ward and Atsushi Nakamura, titled 'FTD-World' has been re-issued by the authors. This reprint was done because the authors couldn't meet the initial demand. The  changes to this second edition are minimal. 

The first volume of this set covers the Studio Outtakes, Live Performances, Rehearsals, Private Recordings and the 'Classic Album' re-issues while the second book details the Soundtracks, the Books, the Session set and the vinyl releases by the collectors label. 

The main changes are addition of 'Music Rarities' a FTD sampler CD that came free with a DVD box set - plus very brief entries for the six FTD titles that have so far been issued in 2026.
