Pentangle, The Albums, 14LP UK Svart Records 2025 - SRE600BOXLPB1

This beautiful box set includes the band's first seven albums, remastered by Nick Watson at Fluid Mastering Studios, and a large number of bonus tracks, most of which are highly interesting. The project coordinator for Cherry Red, John Reed, did an excellent job. The booklet, featuring an introduction by Mike Houghton and liner notes by Colin Harper, is also rich and detailed. Finally, the artwork, designed by Keith Davey, is commendable.

Bellissimo cofanetto che comprende i primi sette album del gruppo, rimasterizzati da Nick Watson negli studi Fluid Mastering, e una serie numerosa di bonus tracks interessantissime nella maggior parte dei casi. Il coordinatore del progetto per la Cherry Red, John Reed, ha fatto un lavoro eccellente. Anche il booklet che contiene l'introduzione di Mike Houghton, le note di Colin Harper, è ricco e dettagliato. Apprezzabile infine la grafica ideata da Keith Davey.
