Hidden Masters

Chris Wood

Evening Blues

• A first pressing of Chris’s never-released solo LP on 180gsm vinyl. The ¼” reels were compiled and sequenced by Chris with engineer Terry Barham at Island Records Fall Out Shelter studio in Hammersmith on Sunday, October 1 1978. Long thought lost, the masters were discovered by chance in a barn in the West of England during the late-spring of 2013.

  While some titles are known, none of the selections have previously been heard.

  Side One: Song For Pete | See No Man Girl | Letter One | Barbed Wire | Don’t It

  Side Two: Jam In Butter | Moon Child Vulcan | Tone Blind Rhythm Deaf | Birth In A Day

  Evening Blue is housed in a 212 page hardback book which includes over 420 images, the majority of which have not been seen before.

  The text has been abridged and edited from Dan Ropek’s acclaimed biography of Chris which includes interviews with the late Paul Medcalf and Jim Capaldi as well as many of Chris’s friends and musical colleagues.

  Evening Blue includes exclusive interviews with Steph Wood and Anna Capaldi-Gilbey; studio engineers Terry Barham and Brian Humphries; musicians Mike Kellie, Dick Cuthell, Steve Winwood, Poli Palmer, Pete Bonas, Maps (James Chapman), Gordon Jackson, Jess Roden, Bobby Whitlock, Shawn Phillips and others as well as photographers Brian Cooke, Barrie Wentzell, Gered Mankowitz, Dina Regine, Dan Cuny, David Miller, Richard Keith Wolff alongside Muscle Shoals Swampers David Hood and Charles Rose.

  The CDs include music drawn from Chris’s entire career with his solo recordings taking centre-stage. Evening Blue includes alternate takes and mixes as well as previously unheard compositions and never-before-heard home demos and other sketches.

  Naturally, there is music from Traffic as well as recordings by Gordon Jackson, John Martyn, Dave Mason, Jim Capaldi, Bobby Whitlock, Airforce, Martha Velez, Nick Drake, Shawn Phillips and others.

  The set also features previously unheard collaborative work with The Wailers’ keyboard player, Tyrone Downie as well as Rebop Kwaku Baah, Remi Kabaka, Sky, Dr John and Jeanette Jacobs. Tracks from the only known-to-survive recordings by the short-lived Mason, Capaldi, Wood & Frog line-up are also included. A brand new 2015 collaboration – Maps with Chris Wood – also features.

  Over half the music featured on Evening Blue has never been heard before.

  Other than in three instances (where the analog reels no longer exist), all the recordings have been sourced from the original 2? and 1? multitracks, 1/4? masters and cassettes captured at 24bit/96Khz. Re-mastering is courtesy Richard Whittaker at FX Mastering in London – the CDs mastered at 16bit/44.1Khz and the vinyl at 24bit/48Khz.
