  • Description

    The 24 track double CD Gary Holton & Casino Steel Vol 1 & 2 is the definitive collection of the strange, pale, black-haired bandido brothers Holton/Steel.



    The compilation reveals a mix of Gary and Casino's musical tastes - from the Neo-Spector-ish country of "Ruby (Don't Take Your Love to Town)" and "Ghostriders (in the Sky)" to the punk spirit of "Pick Me Up", "Goodnight Irene" and "Jimmy Brown". Throw in some perfect covers of neglected classics like "Blackberry Way" and "No Reply". Magic!

    Gary Holton & Casino Steel Vol. 1 & 2 was recorded in Nidaros Studio, Norway and in Olympic Recording Studios in Barnes, West London at varying times between 1979 and '84.

    The career-spanning 2 CD has been compiled by Casino Steel and Holton/Steel biographer Tom Kristensen, and features hits, favourite B-sides and classic album tracks. The set is packaged in a deluxe four panel digipack and contains a 20-page booklet of exclusive photographs and artwork, as well as detailed notes and commentary.

    Produced by Bjorn "Spector" Nessjo and digitally remastered by Rune "The Loonie" Nordal, it is an essential addition to the Holton/Steel catalogue
