[2019-07-19] Tony Banks "Banks Vaults: Complete Albums 1979-1995" 8CD box set (Esoteric UK)

Mark MN · 13 Aug 2012

Description
Eight CD set. Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce the release of Banks Vaults, a newly remastered boxed set featuring all of the solo albums released by Genesis founder Tony Banks between 1979 and 1995. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010 as a member of Genesis, Tony is one of the most respected songwriters and keyboardists in the world. His career spans almost 50 years and has seen him sell in excess of 130 million albums. His body of work is as innovative as it is eclectic. Genesis' avant-garde style made them one of progressive rock's founding fathers in the 1970s, creating an experimental style of rock music never before seen. They went on to produce music with a greater pop sensibility in the 1980s that saw them become one of the biggest selling bands of the decade, and play stadiums throughout the world. Tony Banks' solo work has continued in the same vein. His rock albums have included collaborations with some of the world's most respected musicians including singers Toyah Wilcox, Fish, Jim Diamond and Nick Kershaw, bassist Pino Palladino and drummers Steve Gadd and Vinnie Colaiuta, as well as long time Genesis collaborators Daryl Stuermer and Chester Thompson.

From CherryRed's site, the pack shot.........

Mark MN · 13 Aug 2012

I checked at CherryRed's site and it's being released tomorrow from them, but July 26 at AmazonUSA.

Prices are $77.60 at AmazonUSA and £47.99 at AmazonUK. I'm just going to go with USA.

I'm excited about this. The way I found out is that I subscribe to Tony's YouTube channel and he had a post on it today. The is the first I heard of it.

Anyway, I bought the first two when Esoteric remasted them a couple of years ago. I'm not really mad about them not being reissued individually now. I'll take this as it is just to have them. The sound on his box set was splendid.

Well, I got my set last Friday and this stuff is sounding great. Bankstatement sounds better than it ever has (as do the others).

If you're on the fence, better act fast. I'm sure there's not going to be a ton of these available. Banks' work was never popular to begin with, so I'm assuming this will be a limited pressing.
