Above is the confirmed artwork for the forthcoming Steve Hackett box set Premonitions: The Charisma Recordings 1975-1983.

The cover is of course from the distinctive hand of artist Roger Dean and as previously reported this set will contain 14 discs (10 CDs and four DVDs) and features a total of 135 songs, 67 of them previously unreleased recordings.

It has also been announced that Please Don’t Touch and Spectral Mornings, will also be re-released separately in a deluxe expanded version (with the 5.1 mixes by Steven Wilson) at some point in 2016.

Premonitions: The Charisma Recordings 1975-1983 will be released on 16 October 2015 by Universal Music Catalogue/Virgin.
