Product Description
Arc Of A Diver, originally released in December 1980, is the second solo album recorded by Steve Winwood (Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, Blind Faith). The album was performed entirely by Steve Winwood himself. Featuring Winwood's first solo hit, "While You See a Chance" (which peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States), this was Winwood's breakthrough album as a solo artist. It peaked at #3 on the Billboard 200 album chart, establishing him in the USA as a commercially viable act.

The bonus disc features three extra tracks; Arc Of A Diver (4:14 - the edited US single version), Spanish Dancer (6:08 - radio edit 2010 version) and Night Train (6:30 - instrumental version from the UK 12 single which has never been released on CD before. This version has extra guitar and keyboards and is much longer).

It also features the BBC Radio 2 documentary - Arc Of A Diver, The Steve Winwood Story . Kate Thornton tells the story of a great songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and performer who s been a key figure in pop music for over forty years Steve Winwood. The program includes contributions from Muff Winwood, Van Morrison, Will Jennings, Jim Capaldi, Russ Titelman, Tom Lord Alge, Nile Rogers and Steve Winwood.

The re-issue also includes liner notes written by David Hepworth, the Editorial Director of various magazines including Q, Empire and Mojo as well as presenting the BBC s Whistle Test.

I always loved this album, but that's kind of sparse on the bonus stuff for a "Deluxe Edition".

Yes-this is something I will not even consider.

I don't see the single edit of "While You See A Chance" either ... Obviously, Island didn't see a chance and take it with this so-called Deluxe Edition. Maybe there isn't much in terms of bonus material in the vaults. That's fine. Then maybe it should have simply been a single disc reissue with the bonus tracks tagged on in addition to a bonus DVD of the documentary.

This finally showed up at 'Rama today, so I bought it (surprise!). Anyway, the booklet repeats one page of photos, and is missing lyrics for a couple songs. Clearly a production error.

Did anybody else buy this? Same mistake in the booklet? Are they offering replacements?

Anyone who purchased Steve Winwood‘s Arc Of A Diver two-CD reissue back in October, may have noticed an error in the accompanying 12-page booklet.

Page seven was repeated on page nine, meaning that the lyrics to the end of Arc Of A Diver, all of Second Hand Woman and most of Slowdown Sundown are missing.

A sloppy error that should never have happened. Thankfully, it seems that Universal have re-printed these, and anyone looking for a replacement should email customer services at the following address mk.customerservices@umusic.com, being sure to give them a mailing address for your replacement booklet.
