Legendary guitarist Steve Hackett has announced the release of a special 6CD & 2DVD collection titled ‘Broken Skies – Outspread Wings (1984-2006)’ on the 5th October 2018 via InsideOutMusic.
Following on from 2015’s ‘Premonitions’, this special art-book compiles the albums ‘Till We Have Faces’, ‘Guitar Noir’, ‘Darktown’, ‘Feedback 86’, ‘To Watch The Storms’ & ‘Wild Orchids’ – all newly remastered (2018), alongside a host of bonus tracks. In addition to this, 2 DVD’s are included which feature several recent live rarities and 5.1 mixes of selected songs, as well as the glorious ‘Somewhere in South America’ live DVD capturing a set in Buenos Aires. This is rounded off by brand new artwork from Roger Dean (Yes, Uriah Heep), beautifully presented as a 60-page book with liner notes, rare photos, lyrics and more.
