Genesis founder member Anthony Phillips gathers solo releases together for collector’s box set.
Anthony Phillips is to release remastered versions of his four original Missing Links albums as a 5CD box set on November 27 via Esoteric/Cherry Red. The collection gathers the composer and former Genesis guitarist’s library and television music from 1976 onwards and also includes a 27-track disc of rare and previously unreleased material.
Phillips has previously said of his label deal, “Cherry Red has been going for 35 years at a time when most independents haven’t lasted. They’re a nice mixture of being very business savvy but with a lot of encouragement. I just feel it’ll be a safe place to have the back catalogue, and there’ll be a little bit more of a push to break out of the cult.”
The very first Missing Links was released as a limited edition in 1989 although that and the four subsequent collections have been out of print for several years.
This new anthology was put together by the guitarist and archivist Jon Dann and includes new sleeve notes.
