Steve Hackett / Spectral Mornings to get standalone deluxe with 5.1 mix

Following on from the Premonitions box set of last year, Universal Music will soon reissue a three-disc standalone deluxe edition of Steve Hackett‘s 1979 album Spectral Mornings which will include the Steven Wilson 5.1 surround sound mix.

This set consists of the new Steven Wilson stereo mix of the album (plus three bonus tracks), a CD featuring the original album mix, remastered, and the Steven Wilson 5.1 Surround sound mix (on DVD).

Spectral Mornings‘ predecessor, Please Don’t Touch and 1980’s Defector also get the same treatment, although fans should note that Defector is a ‘pseudo’ surround mix rather than a ‘true’ 5.1,  since the multi-track tapes couldn’t be located.

Spectral Mornings and the other two deluxe editions will all be released on 27 May 2016
