SONGS FOR A TAILOR

Description

“Songs For A Tailor” was Jack Bruce’s first solo project to be released after the demise of Cream in November 1968. Keen to make his debut solo album distinctly different to the music he had recorded with Cream, it featured music stylistically inspired by Jazz, Folk, Classical and Rock influences. Joining Jack and producer Felix Pappalardi for the recording sessions at London’s Morgan Studios were some of the finest British musicians such as Chris Spedding, Jon Hiseman, Dick Heckstall-Smith, John Marshall, Art Themen and Henry Lowther. One session was also notable for the presence of George Harrison. “Songs For A Tailor” was a success in both the UK and USA and is now rightly regarded as a masterpiece and one of Jack’s landmark projects. This boxed set edition features the original 1969 album mix (newly re-mastered from the original master tapes), along with wonderful new stereo and 5.1 Surround sound mixes of the album by Stephen W Tayler (from the original 8-track master tapes) and previously unreleased session out-takes and demos. The set also includes the wonderful 1970 documentary Rope Ladder to the Moon on Blu Ray video for the first time. Originally screened by the BBC, this film features live performances and an insight into Jack’s history, heritage, life and influences. Detailed 32 page full colour booklet
