Email from Dan Barrett, webmaster for GG's home page, to the On Reflection List:
Snapper Music, the label that recently released a 22-CD set of Steve
Hillage's music, is in the planning stages for a large Gentle Giant
boxed set. The preliminary proposal is:
- All 12 original albums (no decision yet on the mastering)
- Up to 18 discs of live performances, emphasizing unreleased concerts
- A coffee table-sized book, signed, including rare pics, foreign record sleeves, etc.
This is all preliminary, but the band is on-board with the project,
and Snapper is shooting for a mid-2018 release.
And you can help. Do you know of particular live recordings that you'd
like to see cleaned up and released? In the near future, I'm going to
run a formal survey (probably using
www.surveymonkey.com) asking
people to nominate their favorites. I'll also ask for ideas to mak
this boxed set as high quality & desirable as possible. (Or feel free to
shout out ideas now.)
See Snapper Music's other boxed sets at
www.snappermusic.com.
The Hillage set is at Madfish | Steve Hillage .
DISCLAIMER: Snapper approached me to help with the planning, and it's
possible they will compensate me for this help. I do not have any
financial interest in the sales of this set, however.
