Search - Andy Roberts :: And the Great Stampede (Reis) (Dlx)

2007 digitally remastered reissue of the second solo album (incorporating the group that shortly backed) the multi-talented British musician. As Roberts explained in an interview, "In 1973 Jac Holzman sold Elektra to David Geffen, which altered the distribution [in the UK] from Warner to EMI, and then the three-day-week hit. It had to be pressed by EMI's pressing plant at Hayes and they were overstretched due to only being able to press records 3 days a week and having to get their Beatles albums out in time for Christmas. So the thing never got a proper release-there wasn't enough copies, they weren't available on the declared day and the review copies didn't go out. It was heartbreaking". For this proper reissue, Roberts penned extensive sleeve notes chronicling the recording and the background of the songs. The package includes previously unpublished photographs and five previously unreleased bonus tracks.
