Deal alert / Steve Hackett: Premonitions 14-disc box set

To quote Steven Wilson, who remixed some of the material on this brand new Steve Hackett Premonitions 14-disc box set, “the one-off manufacturing run is already sold out on pre-orders at Universal, as well as several major mail order outlets…”. All the more reason to snap up probably the last opportunity to get one of this sets at a very competitive price over on Amazon Italy.

The 10CD+4DVD retrospective which comes in a very smart 10-inch slipcase complete with 66-page hardcover book is just £75 or €102 on the Italian site. As a reminder this Premonitions set contains all of Hackett’s Charisma albums, unreleased concert recordings, rare B-sides, an unreleased studio track from 1978 as well as new Steven Wilson stereo and surround mixes of Please Don’t Touch and Spectral Mornings.

Premonitions is officially released this Friday, 23 October 2015.
