"Every time I bend a string, Robin Trower is not far away. The man lives his playing and hangs on every note." Robert Fripp.
For Trower fans this is something to really consider purchasing. Disc 1 is the remastered (but not thankfully remixed) original album. The sound is now cleaner and clearer than the original album. But it doesn't sacrifice that certain sound and feel of the original album. Reg Isidore's (RIP) drums are just a bit cleaner, James Dewar's (RIP) bass can now be heard in it's proper place in the mix, down low but you can hear the individual notes. His soulful voice is still as we remember, deep, warm and soulful. Trower's guitar is still front and center, his Hendrix influence to the fore, but with more clarity in the sound. Don't worry about any sound destroying compression--the mix is like the original album's sound--just cleaner.
Disc 2 is a 2024 stereo mix but with some extra goodies replaced on the album's songs that were left off the original album, which was slightly edited for LP release. These remixed tracks contain the originally recorded music which is great to hear. Also here are various outtakes, very short radio spots, and instrumental rehearsal tracks, all well worth hearing for Trower's guitar playing. Hearing these tracks as they were originally recorded gives you a bit of the feeling of hearing the "real" album as it was put down on tape.
Disc 3 is a contemporary live set from the Record Plant in '74 including most of the album tracks plus songs "Alethea", "Daydream", "I Can't Wait Much Longer", and "Rock Me Baby". The trio is in typical smokin' hot form. The sound is very good.
Disc 4 is the Blu-Ray that includes the '24 remastered original album and the remix tracks, plus outtakes and rarities and the live set.
The packaging. Hmmm. A minor quibble. There's trade size thick hardboard covers which is great. But for whatever reason the discs are packaged so as to make them hard to get out of the full size pockets, because instead of using one page per pocket, the disc pockets are attached back to back in sets of two. This also makes reading the 24 page notes a bit difficult because you can't open the book completely in order to read easily.
As I said--the packaging is a minor inconvenience. Its still about the music--and on that, this set is still smokin' hot with even better sound. If you can swing the bucks and are a fan of this album (and as I write this, you can find it for sale), get this.

Inspiration! and a must have for real Trower fans
This album has been a great inspiration for me starting in 1974 when i first heard it. I became a guitar player because of it. Still playing and listening to this still today! The CD set is great. I liked hearing the extended parts that I never heard before and the dry mixes on one of the CD's. It is a real treat!On the Blu-Ray 2024 remaster there are 6 different audio mixes to choose from (see picture). The last one excludes James Dewar's vocals so you can hear just the music from the original album as we know it. One might ask why remove those great vocals all I can say is I found it very interesting listening to it this way for the first time. You can pick up on some guitar things the vocal covered up. I don't listen to music from my TV blue ray so I ripped my Blu-Ray to play it in my MPC media player on my PC from the MKV file. The file from the 2024 remaster has the 6 audio options that sound great on my PC sound system. Each of the 6 audio choices sound a bit different and depending on your audio equipment you can choose the one that suits it best. I wanted to point this out because I seen someone post a comment somewhere asking about why he could only hear the stereo mix. The audio choices are shown in the attached pic and you have to select the one you want to hear.
