Edsel Vinilo y CD

Review: Spanning the years 1978-82, this seven-disc set captures the history of the band put together by Ian Gillan after he departed hard rock giants Deep Purple, the 94-strong tracklisting features remastered versions of all studio their albums alongside a rich selection of B-sides, outtakes and rarities. Key highlights include the debut album, sometimes known as The Japanese Album as it wasn't initially released in the UK, the more intense Mr Universe, the initally fan only Glory Road and the chart-climbing Future Shock Double Trouble is that most novel of formats, a half studio, half live double album, while Magic, captures the group's last creative burst before disbanding. Housed in 7" packaging with a detailed 32-page booklet, the collection also includes an insightful new interview with the often outspoken frontman.
