Strawbs - Burning For You (expanded / 24-bit remaster)
SKU
23-ECLEC 2718
“This Esoteric Recordings expanded edition has been newly re-mastered from the original master tapes and features four bonus tracks, including an early version of the song Joey and Me (later to feature on the band’s 1978 album Deadlines), two out-takes from the album sessions and the song Heartbreaker (a different composition from the song featured on Burning for You), from the 1977 Intergalactic Touring Band concept album project .
The release restores the original artwork and includes a new essay by Dave Cousins, making this the definitive edition of Burning for You.”
"'Burning for you' was the last Strawbs album to chart in the Billboard Top 200 in the United States. It ended a remarkable run for the band between 1972-1977 when a different album charted each year, with Strawbs on the album charts for a total of 59 weeks across the period.
The line-up of founder Strawbs member David Cousins, lead guitarist Dave Lambert, bass player Chas Cronk, and drummer Rod Coombes, were augmented by John Mealing (formerly with jazz-rock supergroup If) and Robert Kirby (best known for his arrangements on the Nick Drake albums) both on keyboards."
