Anthony Phillips / Private Parts & Pieces I-IV / five-CD box set
The first four albums in Anthony Phillips‘ Private Parts & Pieces series are being collected in a new five-CD box which includes a large amount of previously unreleased bonus material.
The albums were recorded between 1978 and 1984 and were devised to gather up an extensive range of music recorded by Phillips for various projects. They tended to be released in between ‘proper’ albums.
This new set, compiled by Phillips and Jonathan Dann, includes a total of 18 bonus tracks as well as an additional 18-track CD of previously unreleased material.
The set includes a booklet with an essay by Jonathan Dann and fully restores the artwork of the original vinyl releases.
Private Parts & Pieces is released on 28 August.
