Never has this material sounded better, nor the band’s story been told so well!
In the wake of the Yardbirds’ demise, Jim McCarty and Keith Relf reconvened in the late 60s and devised a fresh musical concept that flourished within the creative spirit of new project Renaissance. Imaginative songs and ambitious arrangements blossomed with the assistance of singer Jane Relf, classically trained pianist John Hawken and virtuoso bassist Louis Cennamo. This important new multi-disc and DVD collection casts a spotlight on the evolutionary period of a now-legendary band. It is packed with fascinating, historic performances from their appearances on BBC radio and top German TV show Beat-Club, as well as rare demo’s, instrumentals, European radio broadcasts and a mini documentary. Painstakingly restored and remastered in conjunction with Louis Cennamo and Jim McCarty, this superb release includes extensive liner notes and memorabilia – an unmissable package for both collectors and Prog Rock devotees.Tracklist
