Description
Bridge of Sighs, Robin Trower's sophomore album following his departure from Procol Harum. Lauded critically, commercially a breakthrough, the album saw Robin push his trio's initial concept into exciting new territory. Accompanied by James Dewar on soulful vocal and bass duty and Reg Isidore underpinning their psychedelic blues sound with masterful drumming. Producer and former Procol Harum bandmate Matthew Fisher and Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick take on control room duties to help bring this stunning collection of songs together.

50 years later, the recordings have been newly mixed from the original tapes, and we are proud to present the most expansive version of the album to date.

Disc 1: the original album, remastered from the tape transfers. Disc 2: 2024 Stereo Mix along with a selection of outtakes and rarities never heard before and USA radio spots. Disc 3: You can hear the trio amid a US tour supporting the album, available in its entirety for the first time and newly remastered from the original tape transfers. The final disc is a Blu-ray with all the above plus a newly created stunning Dolby Atmos mix, 5.1, stereo album, instrumentals and additional outtakes only available here. You have never heard Bridge of Sighs like this before.

At the centre of this package is a 24-page booklet featuring liner notes by David Sinclair, newly conducted interviews with Robin Trower and Matthew Fisher and testimonials by Bryan Ferry, Robert Fripp, Steve Lukather, Clive Bunker, Andy Parker and album cover designer Paul Olsen, all alongside previously unseen photographs.

I’ve been playing lots of Trower lately and I’m glad to see this.

The Twice Removed From Yesterday remaster sounded great.

Apparently all the Chrysalis albums are expected to get the treatment and I hope so.

How is this man not in the Hall of Fame????

I mean, seriously?

Twice Removed From Yesterday is a bit rawer but definitely has a better drum sound than Bridge of sighs

Hannah is a magnificent song especially played loud through a good Hifi system
