Chris Wood / Evening Blue anthology track listing confirmed

Final details are now confirmed for Hidden Masters’ long awaited Chris Wood anthology, Evening Blue, which is due in December.

The first edition deluxe set (1000 numbered copies) comprises four CDs and a vinyl record and comes packaged in a 212-page casebound book.

The vinyl record is Chris’s long-thought-lost solo LP and this is repeated on the first CD which adds five bonus tracks, with everything previously unreleased.

The other three discs offer a wealth of material including solo recordings, alternate takes, mixes and never before home demos, alongside collaborations and selections from Traffic.

Virtually everything has been sourced from the original two-inch and one-inch multi-tracks, quarter-inch and cassette analog masters and transferred to 24bit/96Khz. The mastering was carried out by Richard Whittaker at FX Mastering in London.

Evening Blue will be released on 16 December and can be ordered (in various configurations) here.
