History Box 3 (The In-akustik Years 2007-2014)

Description

For fans of Blue Oyster Cult, Nektar, Wishbone Ash, Jane - - third and final box set in the history series of classic rock legend Epitaph, featuring the so-called in-acoustic albums from 2007-2014 - includes bonus tracks from the live album "Still Standing Strong and Back in Town" - elaborately designed 3-CD box set including a 12-page booklet with photos and liner notes as well as extensive bonus material / all tracks remastered by Cliff Jackson and Roger Wahlmann.



Following the huge success of the previous box sets "History Box 1 - The Brain Years 1979 - 1981" and "History Box 2 - The Polydor Years 1971-1972," the band is now turning its attention to the period when it was signed to In-Akustik. Between 2007 and 2014, Epitaph released two studio albums ("Remember The Daze" and "Dancing With The Ghosts") as well as the live album "The Acoustic Sessions" on the Baden-Wurttemberg label. As with its predecessors, "History Box 3" once again features plenty of bonus material. Epitaph broke up after their 1982 album "Danger Man." Although the two guitarists and founding members Cliff Jackson and Bernd Kolbe worked on new material, they released it in 1988 under the band name Kingdom. Around the turn of the millennium, Scorpions guitarist Rudi Schenker asked drummer Jim McGillivray why Epitaph wasn't continuing.

Spurred on by Schenker's interest in the band, Epitaph worked on a reunion. In January 2000, Cliff Jackson, Bernd Kolbe, Heinz Glass, and Achim Poret, the new drummer, gave a highly acclaimed concert at the sold-out Lindenbrauerei in Unna. After that, things slowly but steadily got back on track for Epitaph. In 2004, the band was invited to "Rockpalast" by WDR for the third time. The band members used 2005 and 2006 to complete the material for their new studio album "Remember The Daze." To this day, the band continues to write German rock history, released their latest studio album in 2024, and is still constantly on tour - in keeping with their latest LP "Don't Let The Grey Hair Fool You."
