Robin Trower Bridge of Sighs (50th Anniversary Edition) Limited Deluxe Gatefold Remastered 180gram Vinyl 2LP Set

Overview:

Bridge of Sighs, Robin Trower's sophomore album following his departure from Procol Harum. Lauded critically, commercially a breakthrough, the album saw Robin push his trio's initial concept into exciting new territory. Accompanied by James Dewar on soulful vocal and bass duty and Reg Isidore underpinning their psychedelic blues sound with masterful drumming. Producer and former Procol Harum bandmate Matthew Fisher and Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick take on control room duties to help bring this stunning collection of songs together..

50 years later, the recordings have been newly mixed from the original tapes, with an unedited stereo mix cut at half-speed especially for this release. On the second disc, you can hear the trio amid a US tour supporting the album Live at The Record Plant, Sausalito, May 1974, available in its entirety for the first time and newly remastered from the original tape transfers, the recording sounds as exhilarating as it would have for those in the room..

The package also featured liner notes by David Sinclair, newly conducted interviews with Robin Trower and Matthew Fisher and testimonials by Bryan Ferry, Robert Fripp, Steve Lukather, Andy Parker and album cover designer Paul Olsen, all alongside previously unseen photographs..

Bridge of Sighs (50th Anniversary Edition) – 2LP Gatefold: 2024 Stereo Mix remastered and cut half-speed at AIR Mastering, pressed on 180g vinyl, and housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with liner notes from David Sinclair and new interviews with Robin Trower and Matthew Fisher, words from Bryan Ferry, Robert Fripp and others as well as previously unseen photographs.
