Album Reissues

Robin Trower – Live! (50th Anniversary Edition)

Back in 1975, Robin Trower was starting to be big news. His latest studio album, For Earth Below, was doing well on both sides of the Atlantic, and his label, Chrysalis, was looking to capitalise on this success. An opportunity…

Various Artists – Animals Against The Wall: A Tribute To Pink Floyd Volume II

Lemon, a Cherry Red label, has appeared to have got hold of the Cleopatra Pink Floyd Tribute albums (a few of which I reviewed back in the summer of 2023) and is now reissuing them in 3CD boxsets. The first,…

Holocaust – Dance Into The Void: Complete Recordings Vol.2 1989-2003

Three years ago, I was introduced to the Scottish heavy metal act Holocaust through their 6CD box set that compiled their complete early 80s recordings. With their debut EP and LP, they managed to make a splash in the new…

Blodwyn Pig – The Recordings 1969-1974 (3CD Boxset)

Blodwyn Pig formed way back in the late Sixties by guitarist and vocalist Mick Abrahams following his departure from Jethro Tull, shortly after the release of their 1968 debut album. Abrahams was uncomfortable with the musical direction Tull was heading…

The Alan Parsons Project – The Turn Of A Friendly Card (Expanded Edition)

No, this isn’t déjà vu; we did review The Turn of a Friendly Card three years ago. But that was Esoteric’s four-disc edition. Now, in their infinite wisdom, the powers that be have sought to re-release this album – along…

The Alan Parsons Project – The Eye In The Sky (Expanded Edition)

Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson’s partnership began as a business relationship with Woolfson managing Parsons’ career as an engineer/producer off the back of his impressive work with the Beatles and Pink Floyd in the late sixties and early seventies. Their…

John Hackett – Checking Out Of London

I could write a long passage telling any reader, who is not familiar with him, all about John Hackett’s varied musical career. Going from his work with Quiet World in 1970, appearing on early Anthony Phillips albums along with his…

Yes – Tales From Topographic Oceans (Super Deluxe Edition Boxset)

If progressive rock is the barmy, eccentric uncle to popular music, then Tales from Topographic Oceans, Yes’s landmark sixth album originally released in December 1973, is surely the barmy, eccentric uncle to progressive rock. No other album in prog history…

Camel – Earthrise: Live At The Marquee 1974

In 1974, Camel were at a turning point. Their first album had not sold enough for MCA to retain them, but they were establishing a growing fanbase and were already creating a distinctive melodic/symphonic progressive sound. They were too good…

Hawkwind – Hawkwind (3CD/Blu-Ray)

I have been an avid follower of Hawkwind since my early teens, first discovering them with the release of In Search of Space, the reissue of which I later reviewed for TPA. It was immersing myself in its follow up,…
