Not till Tomorrow
Not till Tomorrow is the 1972 album by British Folk musician Ralph McTell. Produced by Tony Visconti, it was McTell's fifth album to be released (aside from the remixed compilation Revisited) – and first album to chart – in the UK; and his third album to be released in the U.S. Ralph had been phoned and asked if he had decided on a title for the album and, wishing to give himself another day to come up with a title, responded "Not till tomorrow" which was misunderstood to be the name he had given to the album. By the time the mistake was found it was too late.

gollark: It's not *that*.
gollark: It's a bit weird-sounding, but you can distinguish it well from Lua.
gollark: Tlumea?
gollark: Clearly we must fork Lua and make... Aul.
gollark: It sounds like you should just not be using those operators if your stuff behaves that oddly.
