John Wetton, pokojni ikonski britanski basist in vokalist, ki je skozi kariero sodeloval s skupinami: U.K., Family, King Crimson, Roxy Music, Uriah Heep, Wishbone Ash, Asia, prav tako pa je izdal serijo samostojnih albumov, bo 24. 11. 2023 deležen izida osmernega CD zaboja z naslovom “An Extraordinary Life”. Za njegov izid bodo poskrbeli pri založbi Spirit Of Unicorn Records.
Novi zaboj bo vseboval vseh šest studijskih albumov, ki jih je Wetton izdal med letoma 1980 in 2011, pri tem pa bodo deležni tudi remasteriziranja. Gre za albume: “Caught in The Crossfire” (1980), “Battle Lines” (1994), “Arkangel” (1997), “Welcome To Heaven” (2000), “Rock Of Faith” (2003) in “Raised in Captivity” (2011) ter še dva dodatna CD-ja, ki bosta polna neizdanega materiala. Le tega je zbral skupaj arhivist Wettonove glasbe Rick Nelson. Spodaj lahko preverite reklamni video. Vsi CD-ji bodo vsebovali dodatne skladbe, spodaj se nahaja celotni seznam materiala na albumih.
CD bodo hranjeni v 12 x 12 inčnem zaboju, poleg se bo nahajala knjižica na 64 straneh, s slikami legendarnega Rogerja Deana in spremnim esejem Nicka Shiltona, sicer avtorja Wettonove biografije “An Extraordinary Life”, ki je izšla v letošnjem letu. V knjižici bo kup redkih fotografij, ki pripadajo arhivu Johna Wettona. Knjižico pa je oblikoval Wettonov dolgoletni prijatelj Michael Inns. Uporabo fotografij je odobrila tako Wettonova družina, kot tudi njegov zastopnik.
