    RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2018



    • REMASTERED AND EXPANDED EDITION OF THIS CLASSIC 1969 DEBUT ALBUM BY AUDIENCE WITH THREE BONUS TRACKS



    • WITHA BOOKLET WITH NEW ESSAY AND INTERVIEW WITH HOWARD WERTH


    Remastered and expanded edition of the classic 1969 self- titled debut album by the legendary Progressive Rock group Audience. Along with Genesis and Van Der Graaf Generator, Audience were one of the key bands on the roster of the Famous Charisma Label in the early 1970s.


    Prior to signing to Charisma, the band recorded their self- titled debut album on a production deal which appeared on the Polydor imprint in the late Spring of 1969 for a matter of months before being withdrawn.


    Comprising of Howard Werth (vocals, electric nylon string guitar), Keith Gemmell (saxophone, clarinet, recorder, flute), Trevor Williams (bass, vocals) and Tony Connor (drums, percussion, vibes), Audience had a fanatical following, particularly on the continent, where their jazz- influenced brand of Progressive Rock proved popular (earning the band Top Ten status in Italy).


    This Esoteric Recordings re-issue includes three bonus tracks and has been remastered from the original master tapes. It features a booklet with restored artwork and an essay by Sid Smith with an exclusive interview with Howard Werth.
