To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Rory Gallagher’s eponymous 1971 debut solo album, UMC/UMe is pleased to announce the September 3rd 2021 release of a five-disc deluxe box set of the album.
‘Rory Gallagher 50th Anniversary Edition’ will include a brand-new mix of the original album, 30 previously unreleased outtakes and alternate takes, a six-song 1971 BBC Radio John Peel Sunday Concert plus four 1971 BBC Radio Sounds of the Seventies session tracks and they are all mastered at Abbey Road Studios.
Also included is a previously unreleased 50-minute DVD of Rory’s first-ever solo concert which was filmed in Paris for the ‘Pop Deux’ television show.
The extensive box set package will also contain a 32-page hardback book with many rare and previously unseen photographs from British rock photographer Barrie Wentzell, essays and memorabilia from the album recording including hand-written song lyrics by Rory and an exclusive limited-edition poster.
Rory’s eponymous debut album was recorded at the legendary Advision Studios in Fitzrovia, London and it showcases the guitarist as a multi-faceted interpreter of the blues.
