May 24 street date. After bringing the house down at clubs such as Soho's mod hangout The Flamingo with his band The Thunderbirds and recording a 1965 version of ‘Stormy Monday Blues’ that has been called the greatest British blues record, Chris Farlowe signed to Immediate for a series of solo hits before periods singing with Colosseum and Atomic Rooster. In the 1980s he returned to the blues and this 55-track 3CD collection focuses on the ensuing recordings from 1985 to 2008, which demonstrate Farlowe's powerful voice undiminished by the years. Disc one features tracks drawn from the excellent albums ‘Out Of The Blue’ (1985) and ‘Born Again’ (1986), both produced by Mike Vernon, a pivotal figure in British blues, who produced John Mayall and Eric Clapton and founded the Blue Horizon label. Disc two cherry picks from Farlowe's impressive solo albums ‘Waiting In The Wings’ (1992), ‘The Voice’ (1998), ‘Glory Bound’ (2000), ‘Farlowe That!’ (2003), and ‘Hotel Eingang’ (2008). Disc three includes 15 powerhouse live tracks with the Norman Baker Band, the Thunderbirds and with Roy Herrington and The Rhythm 'N' Blues Train.
