Esoteric Recordings release of “MISSING LINKS I – IV”, a newly remastered 5 CD set clamshell boxed set comprising the four original “Missing Links” albums by celebrated composer and GENESIS founder member ANTHONY PHILLIPS.
Aside from his work as a solo artist, Anthony has
been a composer of music for television for many years, going back as
far as 1976. In 1989 Anthony issued the first collection of this music,
“Missing Links” in December 1989 as a limited-edition release. Its
popularity led to a further three Missing Links releases which gathered
not only soundtrack compositions, but other rare archive recordings made
by Anthony Phillips over the years. Although the original four volumes
of the series have been subsequently been issued on CD, they have been
unavailable for some years. Anthony has worked with his archivist Jon
Dann to prepare this new boxed set edition of this wonderful music,
compiling a new additional CD 27 track CD of previously unreleased and
rare archive material, “Extra Links” exclusive to this set. “MISSING
LINKS I – IV” is sure to appeal to fans of Anthony’s work. This new
boxed set edition features liner notes by Jon Dann and is a fine
collection of music by one of Britain’s most imaginative and respected
musicians.
