801 Live Collector's EditionPhil Manzanera's collaboration with David Gilmour for the On An Island album and tour has resulted in him gathering a whole new set of fans, enthusiastically exploring his back catalogue. For those of you amongst those new fans, next Monday (September 7th) is worth noting in your diaries. That's the date that Phil reissues his 801 series of albums, all four digitally remastered and repackaged with extras.

The original classic album, 801 Live (the seminal album he recorded with Brian Eno, Simon Phillips, and Bill MacCormick), is presented in a Collector's Edition book form with an extra CD containing previously unheard rehearsal footage from Shepperton Studios as well as new photographs and text. Critically acclaimed as one of the greatest live albums ever released, you can get more info at www.manzanera.com, www.801live.com, and you can see short films on all the releases at www.vimeo.com/pm801/videos.

You can order the Collector's Edition of 801 Live, along with the other 801 releases, from Amazon UK, Amazon.com, Amazon Canada, Amazon Germany, or Amazon France.
