Rare and collectable Steven Wilson collectables now in stock

Steven John Wilson (born 3 November 1967) is an English musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer, most closely associated with the progressive rock genre. Currently a solo artist, he became known as the founder, lead guitarist, lead vocalist and songwriter of the band Porcupine Tree, as well as being a member of several other bands.

Wilson is a self-taught composer, producer, audio engineer, guitar and keyboard player, and plays other instruments as needed, including bass guitar, autoharp, hammered dulcimer and flute. Despite being mainly associated with progressive rock, his influences and work have encompassed a diverse range of genres including psychedelia, pop, extreme metal, electronic and jazz, among others, shifting his musical direction through his albums. His concerts incorporate quadraphonic sound and elaborate visuals. He has also worked with artists such as Opeth, King Crimson, Pendulum, Jethro Tull, Andy Partridge, Yes, Marillion, Tears for Fears, Roxy Music and Anathema.

In a career spanning more than 30 years, Wilson has made music prolifically and earned critical acclaim. His honours include four nominations for Grammy Awards, twice with Porcupine Tree, with his collaborative band Storm Corrosion and as a soloist on one occasion. In 2015, he received three awards at the Progressive Music Awards in London for his services to the genre, where he was crowned “the king of prog rock”. Nevertheless, his work has largely stayed away from mainstream music, and he has been described by publications such as The Daily Telegraph as “the most successful British artist you’ve never heard of”.

NO MAN IS AN ISLAND / VARIOUS Double Exposure (Ultra rare original 1987 UK 12-track private press double LP compilation album pressed in France by S.N.A., assembled by pre-Porcupine Tree Steven Wilson to promote various musical projects, including his own. Featuring the No Man Is An Island [soon to be shorted to No-Man] song Faith’s Last Doubt, an early attempt at a moody ballad, this was one of two tracks written & recorded in the very first session he worked with Tim Bowness together, this had a short pressing run and rumoured to be only 700 pressed, it was soon deleted after the release. Glossy picture sleeve with track details listed across the inside spread. The sleeve has a few minor signs of wear but has no rips or splits and, aside from some light paper scuffs, the vinyl is in excellent condition. We have play tested and can confirm there is very little lessening in sound quality, a very respectable copy of this now extremely hard to find pressing).
