CD диск Wyman, Bill - Treasury 7CD (0740155746032)

Bill Wyman and Demon Music are proud to present Treasury, a new seven-disc CD box set, celebrating the solo career of the iconic British musician. It contains six solo albums by Bill, recorded across a fifty-year span, beginning 1974. Each of the first six discs contains bonus material such as 7-inch and 12-inch single mixes, plus demo recordings, while the final disc features 12 new demo recordings of songs that Bill has written in that time, but never released - until now. The first two discs contain the albums Monkey Grip (from 1974) and Stone Alone (1976), both originally issued on Rolling Stones Records, and made with a staggering line-up of musical friends including Lowell George, Dr John, Joe Walsh, Van Morrison, the Pointer Sisters, Danny Kortchmar, Dallas Taylor, Leon Russell, Bob Welch and Nicky Hopkins. The eponymous Bill Wyman album from 1981 was home to the Top 40 singles '(Si Si) Je Suis Un Rock Star', and 'A New Fashion' while fourth album Stuff, with contributions from Chuck Leavell, and Ray Cooper, appeared in 1992, originally in Japan only. The 2015 album Back To Basics saw Bill work with Guy Fletcher, and Robbie McIntosh, both of whom returned for the 2024 set Drive My Car, where Andy Fairweather-Low added his name to the list of greats who have collaborated with Bill. In addition to the 107 tracks of music, 'Treasury' includes lyrics for all the 'new' songs on the seventh disc, photos from Bill's own archive, and a new interview with Bill, where he looks back over his solo career with broadcaster and journalist Paul Sexton, who has interviewed him on numerous occasions from the late '80s onwards. Paul's extensive work with the Rolling Stones include 'Charlie’s Good Tonight: The Authorised Biography of Charlie Watts’. Born in 1936 in Lewisham, south London, Bill joined the Rolling Stones in 1962, playing bass with them for more than 30 years, appearing on 19 studio albums, and returning for a guest appearance on the band's chart-topping 2023 comeback collection 'Hackney Diamonds'. In 1972 he collaborated with Ry Cooder, Nicky Hopkins, Mick Jagger, and Charlie Watts on 'Jamming With Edward!', and launched his back-to-roots all-star side project Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings in 1997.
