Keef Hartley Band : Sinnin’ For You : The Albums 1969 1973
7CD Box Set Review
Esoteric Recordings / Cherry Red Records
67 Tracks plus a huge booklet and essay from Keef Hartley describing the stories behind each album.
Prior to this I only had the album Halfbreed and I have found this a totally immersive experience. Esoteric / Cherry Red Records show again how these career defining collections should be done. The attention to detail and their understanding of what music fans and collectors want from these CD Sets is spot on. Mini Gatefold sleeves, a booklet you will see your yourself dipping into over and over again and beautifully remastered music. This is Blues, Rock, Jazz, Fusion and a must have.
This box set will certainly be in my top 30 releases of the year.
