• NEW REMASTERED EDITION OF THE CLASSIC 1970 ALBUM BY PROGRESSIVE ROCK GROUP BLONDE ON BLONDE
• WITH THREE BONUS TRACKS (TWO PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED)
• FULLY RESTORED ARTWORK AND LINER NOTES WITH EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEWS

Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce the release of a newly re-mastered and expanded edition of “Rebirth”, the classic 1970 album by Welsh Progressive rock group BLONDE ON BLONDE.

Featuring a line-up of David Thomas (vocals), Gareth Johnson (guitars), Richard John (bass) and Les Hicks (drums), “Rebirth” was the second album by the band (who hailed from Newport in South Wales). Issued in 1970, the record followed on from the band’s debut, “Contrasts”, recorded for the Pye label the previous year. Now signed to the Ember label, “Rebirth” was a huge step forward in creative terms for the band and saw them move further into a Progressive Rock direction.

Original vinyl copies of “Rebirth” now demand huge sums among collectors, based upon the quality and originality of the music within.

This Esoteric Recordings edition has been newly remastered from the original Ember masters and includes three bonus tracks, two previously unreleased. The booklet of this new edition features exclusive new interviews with David Thomas and Gareth Johnson, features previously unseen photographs and fully restores the original album artwork.
