| I know there are a few Robin Trower fans like me. his early stuff is phenominal he was at his best back in the 70's and is still doing it today.
Does anyone have this 3 cd set Robin Trower - A Tale Untold The Chrysalis Years 1973-1976? Basically this is a retrospective of those years with some live materail, studio material from those days, fantastic stuff.

| Been meaning to pick that up but haven't had the funds as of yet.
I have the remastered version of Bridge Of Sighs, plus most of those twofers that came out in the 90's. Eventually I'll get the box set and sell the individual discs.
Robin Trower is easily one of my favorite guitarists of all time, same goes for James Dewar's voice, what a talent! _________________  |

| The box set actually has the following LP's in their entirety:
Twice Removed From Yesterday Bridge of Sighs For Earth Below Live Long Misty Days
plus a variety of bonus singles.
A perfect collection of music, not a single bad album in that batch.
I'm hoping for a followup collection to complete his Chrysalis run. _________________  |

| He's one of the best Hendrix influenced players ever. I had one of his compilations once. (the one with wave on the cover) |

| That's tempting. I have most of that era but I might pick this up if I can find a good price. Trower with Dewar was about as good as music gets IMO. I've listened to those regularly for 35 years now and I never get sick of them. My Ipod gives me a dose of Trower almost every day. |

| That box is only $30 new. I think that's a pretty good price for 6 albums of material + bonus tracks. _________________  |

| I have Bridge Of Sighs on vinyl. Used to be my dad's. This Box set would be a great gift for him at one point. |

| Ok I bought this. I can't afford it, but my Trower Cds are mostly the original late 80's editions, crappy sound to begin with and now worn as well. So I need a new set, don't I? Yeah, that's the ticket. Plus I passed up buying that bottle of wine that I was thinking about, so I deserve to get this. I think I've done the right thing. |
