GRAHAM BOND ORGANISATION - WADE IN THE WATER – CLASSICS, ORIGINS & ODDITIES
The only authoritative version on the market.

The essential collectors’ set. The biggest and most comprehensive collection of work ever by the classic GRAHAM BOND ORGANIZATION line-ups.

96 tracks packed onto 4 CDs – including tracks from the classic albums – with many remixed for the first time by Pete Brown and Dick Heckstall-Smith from the original 4-track masters.

Several unreleased performances by the GBO (including Ginger Baker’s first vocal!)

Amazingly wild ‘live’ gig by the original line-up – never heard before.

Rare demo sessions, previously unreleased.

GBO backing other artists – mostly unreleased tracks, plus others unavailable since the 1960s.

24 page booklet, featuring rare archive memorabilia and introduction by Pete Brown.

Produced by Pete Brown (Cream / Battered Ornaments / Piblokto).

Expertly remastered by Jon Astley (who has worked on recordings by George Harrison, Led Zeppelin, The Who and many others).

There will probably be a bunch of tracks that I may play only a time or two, but it will be nice to have this all in one place.
The price is not bad for 4 discs. I hope especially that the live material sounds good.

I was always hopeful that we can have a comp on this band but this exceeds expectations.

I'm in!

Rick A.

I was afraid of this.....I already have the early live record and 1st 2 studio albums. I'll probably go for this...though my budget is killing me with the Frank Zappa and Grateful Dead releases.

Every time I see "Graham Bond Organization," it sounds like an accounting firm to me.

Its been delayed until Nov 5th 2012 now. I decided not to get this until the reviews are out. Too many box sets to pick from.

Its been delayed again, was due 17th Dec, now its off the radar, perhaps Ginger & Jack are at it again?
I gave up and cancelled my order.

Really? I wanted to get this and had it in my Wish List. I hope they change their mind.

Just received mine today. Looking forward to exploring this over the weekend.

Rick A.

Looking forward to hearing your review of the set!

Willy Wilson, I just finished disc one and I'm already satisfied. Well worth the wait and the price was excellent. Nice booklet, very well presented package wilh cool pics and memorabilia including song by song personal and dates.

You know, you learn something everyday, I knew Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce was in his band BUT did not know that John McLaughlin was in this band as well, WOW!
