The Band / The Capitol Albums 1968-1977 / vinyl box set

By Paul Sinclair

Universal Music are to issue a new 9LP vinyl box set featuring music of Canadian rock legends The Band in July this year.

The Capitol Albums 1968-1977 features the following eight albums, all pressed on 180g vinyl: Music From The Big Pink, The Band, Stage Fright, Cahoots, Rock of Ages (2LP), Moondog Matinee, Northern Lights – Southern Cross and Islands.

The packaging will replicate originals and these will come in a sturdy outer rigid box. These albums are also being made available separately (in the UK, at least) if you’d prefer to pick and choose a few favourites.

For the North American market the records in the box set are being pressed at the highly regarded Quality Record Pressings (QRP) plant, although there is no confirmation at this time for Europe.

The Complete Capitol Albums 1968-1977 will be released on 31 July 2015.
