Description
Esoteric Recordings are proud to announce the release of a deluxe 4 disc clamshell boxed set edition of the classic 1979 album Sides by Genesis founder member Anthony Phillips. Produced by Rupert Hine, Sides was Anthony’s third solo album and was a superb blend of instrumental music and songs. The record saw Anthony supported by an able cast of musicians that included Mike Giles & Mel Collins (King Crimson), John G. Perry (Caravan, Quantum Jump) and John Hackett (a member of his brother Steve’s band). Featuring such wonderful compositions as ‘Um & Aargh’, ‘Sisters of Remindum’, ‘Bleak House’, ‘Lucy Will’ and ‘Nightmare’, Sides is a classic album of the late 70s Progressive era. This deluxe edition features a new stereo mix of the album, a newly re-mastered version of the original album stereo mix and a CD of demos, out-takes and extras. The set also includes a DVD (NTSC – Region Free) of a new 5.1 Surround Sound Mix of the record and a lavishly illustrated booklet with a new essay by Jon Dann featuring interviews with Anthony Phillips and Rupert Hine (the album’s producer). Sides is the latest release in Esoteric Recordings’ on-going series of official Anthony Phillips reissues.

Heads-up for our prog and surround collectors -- as happened with Esoteric's similarly expanded edition of Phillip's Wise After The Event album which is due in February, this new pre-order for the Sides box set in April is inexplicably about the same cost at Amazon USA as ordering directly from the UK. Worth locking in early, for sure:

I've trimmed Rick's quoted e-mail above so as not to confuse the issue with a bunch of extraneous links.

Amazon USA's listing for this title went dormant in error, since the release is still scheduled in the UK for April 15th:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01AWF28H0/?tag=imwan-21

For whatever reason, the USA system cancelled the pre-order for the imported copy. I expect that listing page to go live again before April 15th, however, the pre-orders won't be reinstated.

In the meantime, get it directly from Amazon UK. (Which is usually the best way to go for all British releases, but this title was being advertised cheaper at the American site.)

Thanks for the "trim" Linda. :wink:

Yeah, I was afraid that it was to good of a bargain. :ohno:

I'll await a bit to see what the US price will be when it is reinstated. :ohyes:

It's back up at Amazon USA.
