Robin Trower / Bridge of Sighs 50th Anniversary 3CD+Blu-ray

3CD+Blu-ray • New Stereo • Remastered version • Atmos, 5.1 and instrumental mixes

Procol Harum's Robin Trower released his second solo album, Bridge of Sighs, in 1974 to critical and commercial acclaim. The album will be released as a 3CD+blu-ray deluxe edition which features a Dolby Atmos Mix amongst its contents.

The album features Trower on guitar with James Dewar (bass, vocals) and Reg Isidore (drums). Robin's former bandmate Matthew Fisher produces with former Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick taking on control room duties.

The 3CD+blu-ray set features both a remastered version of the original mix of the album (CD 1), a brand new 2024 stereo remix of Bridge of Sighs which contains longer versions of most of the songs, since it was discovered during the remixing process that most of these had been edited, most like to ensure the album worked comfortably on vinyl. For example, 'In This Place' is 4.29 on the original album but 6.17 on the stereo remix, while 'Little Bit of Sympathy' is also almost two minutes longer. Every track is different in this way. Added to CD 2 is a very generous selection of outtakes and rarities, all previously unreleased, including rehearsals, early versions and the like.

The third CD offers live audio available in its entirety for the first time and newly remastered from the original tape transfers. The blu-ray includes a Dolby Atmos Mix, a 5.1 Mix, the remastered stereo version, the remixed stereo version, a slightly different selection of stereo outtakes (extra ones!), the live tracks in stereo and an exclusive instrumental stereo mix.

Bridge of Sighs was released on 17 May 2024, via Chrysalis.
