'''''The Cost''''' is the sixth studio album by [[The Frames]], released in [[Ireland]] on Plateau Records on [[September 22]], [[2006]]. The album was released worldwide on [[ANTI-]] on [[February 20]], [[2007]]. The album exhibits a sound more like that of ''[[For the Birds (album)|For the Birds]]'' than their more recent album ''[[Burn the Maps]]''. The Frames' line-up for '''The Cost''' features [[Glen Hansard]] on guitar and vocals, [[Colm Mac Con Iomaire]] on violin and keyboards, [[Joseph Doyle]] on bass guitar and backing vocals, [[Rob Bochnik]] on lead guitar and [[Graham Hopkins]] who played drums in place of the Frames' regular drummer Johnny Boyle. It was recorded in Black Box, France by Stephen Fitzmaurice and David Odlum with assistance from Fabian Lesure. The front and back covers feature photography by frontman Hansard of oak leaves, accompanied by a handwritten inscription reading: "''Ni identitat permanent, ni idea de persona, ni d'ésser vivant, ni d'un temps d'existencia''" (which is [[Catalan Language|Catalan]] for "''Nor permanent identity, nor idea of a person, nor of being alive, nor of a time of existence''"). The album is enigmatically dedicated to "Multi (the ghost)".


Three songs on the album have been released before on separate productions. "Rise" featured on the B-Side of the 2001 Single ''[[Lay Me Down]]''. Both "Falling Slowly" and "When Your Mind's Made Up" appeared on the 2006 album ''[[The Swell Season]]'' released by [[Glen Hansard]] and the Czech pianist [[Marketa Irglova]]. All three of these songs have been reworked for the album.
'''Sir Malcolm Campbell''' ([[11 March]] [[1885]] &ndash; [[31 December]] [[1948]]) was an [[England|English]] racing motorist and motoring journalist. He gained the world speed record on [[Land Speed Record|land]] and on [[Water speed record|water]] at various times during the 1920s and 1930s using [[List of Bluebird record-breaking vehicles|vehicles called ''Bluebird'']]. His son, [[Donald Campbell]], carried on the family tradition by holding both land speed and water speed records.

He attended the independent [[Uppingham School]]. In Germany, learning the diamond trade, he gained an interest in motorbikes and races.

Between 1906-8, he won all three London to Lakes End Trials (motorbike races). In 1910 he began racing cars at [[Brooklands]]. He married but divorced two years later.
