A career-spanning Phil Manzanera box set, 50 Years Of Music, is to be released through Universal Records on November 1. You can listen to a brand new remix of Listen Now, the title track from the sole 1976 album by Mazanera's short-lived supergroup 801, below.
The 11-disc set contains all ten of Roxy Music guitarist Manzanera's solo studio albums (as opposed to collaborative albums), from 1975's Diamond Head through to 2015's Sound Of Blue, all featuring rare and previously unreleased material, plus a bonus disc, Rare Two, a personally curated collection of 10 unreleased songs, demos, live tracks, and two rarities from Phil’s archive, including Demo PM 1, the early version of Pink Floyd’s One Slip that Manzanera wrote with his long-term friend and collaborator David Gilmour, and which featured on Floyd's 1987 album A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, plus a live version of Impossible Guitars from Roxy Music’s Frejus gig in 1982.
"This box set gives the listener an idea of what I’ve been up to in my parallel solo musical world away from Roxy for the last 50 years," says Manazanera. "It always has been about working together with friends to achieve the common goal of music ‘Sin Fronteras'."
50 Years Of Music is presented in a 10”x10” hard-slip case with a matt finish and spot varnish, with three wallets holding the eleven CDs featuring original artwork throughout.
The albums have been remastered by Alchemy Mastering’s Barry Grint at London’s renowned Air Studios, overseen by Manzanera himself. There is also a 100-page book featuring photos, handwritten notes, tape boxes, scribbles, clippings, alternate artwork, lyrics, compositions and thoughts, as well as the original album booklets.
You can see the full tracklisting below.
