Robert Wyatt re-issues for 1998:
THIRSTY EAR TO REISSUE 6 ALBUMS
FROM ROBERT WYATT’S BACK CATALOGUE
|
On the heels of the critically acclaimed new release by Robert Wyatt, Shleep, Thirsty Ear Recordings will be re-releasing six of Wyatt’s solo albums in the next few months. Wyatt’s masterpiece Rock Bottom (1974) and its follow-up, a remastered Ruth is Stranger Than Richard (1975) will both hit the stores on May 5. Recorded shortly after the accident which left Wyatt a paraplegic, the visionary recordings Rock Bottom and Ruth is Stranger Than Richard contain some of the most affecting and emotional works of his career. Both releases contain improved packaging, new artwork with lyrics, extra photos and, in the case of Rock Bottom, a short piece written by Wyatt about the making of the album. Wyatt’s Nothing Can Stop Us (1982) and Old Rottenhat (1985) will be reissued on June 9; The Animals Soundtrack (1984) and a remastered Dondestan (1991) are expected in early fall. More information on these releases will be available soon. |
