Notes:

212-page vinyl-sized hardback book in a limited edition of 1000 copies. Features 4 CDs and Wood's never-released solo LP on 180 gram vinyl. Long thought lost, the ¼” masters were discovered by chance in an outbuilding in the West of England during the late-spring of 2013.

The package features 66 tracks, over 420 images and a text abridged and edited from Dan Ropek’s biography of Chris Wood, which includes interviews with the late Paul Medcalf and Jim Capaldi, 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.

Curated in close collaboration with Steph Wood who administers her brother’s estate, it chronicles and celebrates Chris Wood’s life in music - from co-founding Traffic and collaborations with John Martyn, The Wailers’ Tyrone Downie, Nick Drake, Free to his own solo work. The 4 CDs includes music drawn from Wood’s entire career with his solo recordings taking centre-stage. Also featured are alternate takes and mixes as well as previously unheard compositions and never-before-heard home demos and other sketches, e.g. Wood’s previously unheard collaborative work with The Wailers’ keyboard player, Tyrone Downie as well as Rebop Kwaku Baah, Remi Kabaka, The Sky, Dr John & Jeanette Jacobs. Tracks from the only known-to-survive recordings by the short-lived Mason, Capaldi, Wood & Frog line-up were also included, as was a brand new 2015 collaboration by Maps with Chris Wood.

Except for 3 instances where the analog reels no longer existed, all the recordings were sourced from the original 2″ and 1″ multitracks or ¼” masters and cassettes captured at 24bit / 96Khz.
