Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings / Ultimate Collection 10CD box

Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings will release Ultimate Collection, a career-spanning 10CD set in October.  

After leaving The Rolling Stones in 1993, Wyman spent a couple of years away from music to focus on his Sticky Fingers restaurants while dabbling in photography and archeology. In 1995, he started jamming at home with blues guitarist Terry Taylor, eventually calling on old pals including Georgie Fame, Albert Lee, Peter Frampton, Andy Fairweather Low and Gary Brooker. Spontaneous recording sessions led to the first Rhythm Kings album, 1997’s Struttin’ Our Stuff, and over the next couple of decades the loose collective played over 200 shows and released six studio albums. Unsurprisingly, Wyman’s little black book came in handy over the years, with the bassist calling guest appearances from George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Chris Rea and many more.

All of those albums – Struttin’ Our Stuff, Anyway The Wind Blows, Groovin’, the two-disc Double Bill, Just For A Thrill and outtakes set Studio Time are included on Ultimate Collection, along with a smattering of bonus tracks. Also included are two live performances (Live, recorded in Berlin in 2004, and Live Communication, a set from Dorking in 2008). The box also includes the single-disc Best Of The Bootleg Kings, a compilation of highlights from the band’s ‘bootleg series’ of live recordings. 

The 10 CDs are housed in deluxe seven-single-style packaging. It comes with a 24-page booklet, with a new interview with Bill and Beverley Skeete and a limited edition version adds an art print, signed by Bill Wyman.

Though Ultimate Collection will be a handy one-stop for anybody craving endless chummy blues sessions, those already have Edsel’s four-volume 2016-2017 series The Kings Of Rhythm series will already have this covered.   

Ultimate Collection will be released on 9 October 2026 via Esel.
