Universal Music pubblicherà in ottobre Rory Gallagher The BBC Collection, un cofanetto di 20 dischi (18 CD e 2 blu-ray) descritto come “la raccolta definitiva delle esibizioni di Rory Gallagher registrate alla BBC”.
Il formidabile chitarrista irlandese è stato uno dei musicisti più registrati dalla BBC nel corso degli anni Settanta e questo nuovo cofanetto è stato creato a partire dai nastri presenti negli archivi della BBC insieme alle registrazioni su cassetta off-air dello stesso Rory Gallagher. Oltre tre quarti delle registrazioni audio sono inedite.
La BBC Collection comprende 16 anni di carriera di Gallagher (1971-1986) e i momenti salienti includono il concerto Sight & Sound trasmesso dalla televisione e dalla radio nel 1977, il set da headliner di Rory al Reading Festival nel 1980 e il concerto At Midnight dal vivo dall’Ulster Hall di Belfast nel 1984.
I blu-ray offrono concerti televisivi della BBC e performance in studio dal 1973 al 1984.
Oltre al mega box, saranno disponibili edizioni ridotte contenenti gli highlights intitolate The Best of Rory Gallagher at the BBC, sia in doppio CD che in triplo LP. La confezione include un libretto con un saggio scritto da Colin Harper, con nuove interviste al produttore della BBC Jeff Griffin, al bassista di Rory, Gerry McAvoy, e ai colleghi degli anni ’70 come Andy Roberts (Plainsong, Liverpool Scene, ecc.), Barry Devlin (Horslips), Jake Burns (SLF) e Dave McLarnon (Shock Treatment).
Tutti i formati vengono pubblicati l’11 ottobre 2024 via UMR.
