ROBIN TROWER’S TWICE REMOVED FROM YESTERDAY (1973) REISSUED ON CD LONG OUT OF PRINT IN THE U.S. ALBUM MAKES ITS RETURN IN REMASTERED FORM

Trower’s post-Procol Harum solo debut
Latest release from Iconoclassic Records arrives on April 6, 2010

Iconoclassic Records announces the reissue of Robin Trower’s seminal debut album TWICE REMOVED FROM YESTERDAY.

Following Robin Trower’s departure from Procol Harum he embarked upon a remarkable solo career with the aid of James Dewar (vocals and bass) and Reg Isidore (drums). The power trio’s debut release TWICE REMOVED FROM YESTERDAY has been remastered by Grammy-winning engineer Vic Anesini and features new liner notes that include a fresh interview with Robin himself.

When Trower left Procol Harum in 1972 and struck out on his own, there was no way of knowing he would become one of the most legendary and celebrated rock guitarists of his generation. There was no guarantee of commercial success or even that he could find a record deal. It was simply a move the guitarist felt he had to make out of creative necessity. “I was starting to write a lot more music for the guitar,” Trower recalls. “Procol Harum were a keyboard band, and musically I was going off in a different direction. I had to find my own way to pursue that, and so I decided to form my own band… I’d already been working with James Dewar in another band. I’d already heard that great voice, so when I decided I was gonna have a three-piece I knew that Jimmy was the one. And then Jimmy found Reg. Reg came and played with us, and we just hit it off.”

Initial offering TWICE REMOVED FROM YESTERDAY was produced by former Procol band mate Matthew Fisher and the album unleashed the full force of Trower’s incredible guitar playing. The Fender Stratocaster was his weapon of choice and the sheer fury with which Robin attacked uptempo rock and blues was astonishing considering that those elements of his playing had only been hinted at in his former band. The contrast of that was the subtlety and pure lyricism that was displayed on less aggressive materiel like “Daydream,” an FM radio staple from back in the day. “I think the material is still potent, a lot of it,” Robin says. “I’ve always felt if anything is my strength, it is my compositional ability. ‘Hannah’ in particular is one of my all-time favorite tracks.”

Released in May 1973, TWICE REMOVED FROM YESTERDAY was a success both critically and commercially. It charted for twenty-four weeks, peaking at #106, and earned a Gold record. This is the album that paved the way to Bridge Of Sighs and superstardom. The Iconoclassic release is augmented by “Take A Fast Train,” the B-side of the album’s single “Man Of The World.”

JACK BRUCE ROBIN TROWER SEVEN MOONS LIVE CD

Jack Bruce & Robin Trower Seven Moons Live will be a 14-track CD album due for release on 3rd August.

It was at the beginning of the 80s when Jack & Robin first worked together in a studio producing two remarkable records ['B.L.T.' 1981 and 'Truce' 1982], but the fans had to wait for another 27 years for another meeting of the two titans: It was not until 2008 that ‘Seven Moons’ reunited them. The Veterans had formed a power trio; together with drummer Gary Husband [Level 42, Gary Moore], they recorded new material: Fine bluesrock painted in psychedelic colours und wonderful sounds, a record transporting the living spirit of the creative seventies in to the third millennium. A few months later a fansite announced: ‘Bruce, Trower & Husband to take ‘Seven Moons’ into orbit! For a few nights only, Robin and Jack will get to play live together for the first time ever in late February 2009′, and THIS is the result. The set even includes a few tunes from Bruce’s famous catalogue: Cream hits ‘Sunshine Of Your Love’ and ‘White Room’ have been remade into something very special and very different here!

Tracklist:

1. Seven Moons
2. Lives Of Clay
3. Distant Places Of The Heart
4. Sunshine Of Your Love
5. Carmen
6. She’s Not The One
7. So Far To Yesterday
8. Just Another Day
9. Perfect Place
10. Bad Case Of Celebrity
11. The Last Door
12. Come To Me
13. White Room

JACK BRUCE AND ROBIN TROWER LIVE DVD DUE

A rather low key series of shows in Holland and Germany by Jack Bruce and Robin Trower caught many fans by surprise. Their last collaboration, the studio album ‘Seven Moons’, was very well received, so some live shows did not seem far fetched. 

Sadly, most fans did not even hear about them. That’s the bad news, the good news is that their show at De Vereeniging in Nijmegen on 28 February 2009 was filmed for a DVD release and is due very soon. Jack Bruce, Robin Trower, Gary Husband rocked the house that night. A few numbers were done twice to ensure that the best performance would be used for the DVD.

Fans can look forward to hearing a mixture of Trower and Cream classics. Can’t wait!!

Seven Moons Live DVD will be released on October 5, 2009.

Buy your copy here if you live in Europe.

This concert was recorded over two spectacular concerts held in the grounds of Ledreborg Castle in Denmark in August 2006. The band were accompanied throughout by the Danish Radio Concert Orchestra and Choir and these epic songs really benefit from the full symphonic arrangements they receive.

A note of warning though, although the packaging and sound are top notch, there are gaps in sound at every index mark which makes for a frustrating listen. We contacted Robin’s manager, Derek Sutton, for an explanation.

This is the response:

“We had a choice — either the whole show is one track, with
no way to play individual songs, or we do what most people
have indicated ( in the past) that they want — separate the songs.

It is not a mistake — just a choice that I know has irritated some
of our audience. I regret that this has caused some folks grief.

There is no way to change that choice now.”
