Hard on the heels of BF's own half century career celebration, Phil will release this set at the start of November:
https://thesoundofvinyl.com/products/50 ... ZGlY610706
It's also in Phil's Backstreet Merch webshop, albeit with less detail than the Sound Of Vinyl description (quite how or why what appears to be a CD only set has found its way to SOV is unclear!).
Hopefully it will be clarified in time whether discs 1-10 contain any extras and, if so, whether or not they have been previously released (e.g. as bonus tracks in previous CD reissues), but it reads as though the contents may be:
CD1 Diamond Head
CD2 Listen Now!
CD3 K-Scope
CD4 Primitive Guitars
CD5 Southern Cross
CD6 Vozero
CD7 6PM
CD8 50 Minutes Later
CD9 Firebird VII
CD10 The Sound Of Blue
CD11 Rare Two
There were rumours a while back of a second boxed set covering Phil's various collaborations and that would make sense, as a 50 year retrospective would be expected by many to include Quiet Sun, 801, The Explorers etc, if not some live stuff too (e.g. Curious Arts Festival, Live In Japan, gigs from the Listen Now! tour etc.). Time will tell, I guess...
In the meantime you have until the autumn to start saving or to find a hammer with which to attack your piggy banks!
