Here too are the stories behind the four legendary albums that preceded the phenomenally successful \u003cem\u003eWhite Ladder\u003c\/em\u003e, recorded in the summer of 1998. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeatley assesses the impact of global success on Gray who, faced with following up his surprise multi million-seller, achieved the near-impossible.
