REG KING - CD REG KING

Popis - REG KING:
Never re-issued before, on either vinyl or compact disc, Circle Records take great pleasure in presenting former lead singer of The Action, Reg King's self-titled album. Originally released on the "United Artists" label in 1971 (although it's earlier recordings date from 1969), via production company "Sahara Records", the 'Reg King' album is a neglected 'lost classic'. Long sought-after by collectors, with original copies regularly achieving three-figure sums, this record features all original King/Dale material, with backing from the highly-respected musicians of "B.B. Blunder" (ex-Blossom Toes) and "Mighty Baby" (ex-The Action). Other 'stellar' names making their musical contributions to this album include Mick Taylor, Steve Winwood, Elton Dean and Brian Auger. In addition, a whole host of other musicians at the cutting edge of the British Jazz and Underground Rock scenes of the time assist in different places. A particularly essential purchase for any fan of The Action or Mighty Baby: Check-out the musicianship and Reg's emotive, soulful voice on this, the final stage of his professional career. Remastered from the sole-surviving 1/4" masters, this album keeps the original production and mix as intended by Reg, but adds a clarity and 'punch' previously unheard. This is an official release in conjunction with "Rolled Gold Productions" who own the copyright and masters: Anything else you may be offered is a BOOTLEG that pays nothing to Reg. Don't even consider buying anything else until you see this edition!
16-track CD - Featuring the full original album, plus 7 bonus tracks of different versions (early/demo etc.) of album tracks from the sessions, some of which are quite radically different to the 'final' ones! A fascinating look at how the tracks evolved in themselves. Out of the bonus tracks, only "10,000 Miles" with Mighty Baby is common to our vinyl re-issue. Also, the C.D. version of "Nobody Knows Where We Are" is longer/un-edited. Packaging in colour, with 8-page booklet and "UA" label-styled disc.500 numbered copies on first run.
