A 20 CD SET WITH A 48 PAGE BOOK FOR £150 – for those who can afford it or can’t do without it spanning THE NICE, ELP, SOUNDTRACK and SOLO – announced on Burning Shed but no details yet. Due on 13th October. Also an ELP: LIVE AT HOLLYWOOD BOWL 1971 CD is due on 28th July.

The GENTLE GIANT one is on limited vinyl with a 60 page book and a numbered certificate; no specific details, and one presumes it is of decent audio quality given some dodgy live ones from the past- need to keep an eye on this one.
