Five CD box set retrospective from singer/songwriter Iain Matthews. Features 2024 remasters of the three albums made for Vertigo Records at the start of his solo career in the early 1970s, and a live version of his first Vertigo album. Including 37 previously unreleased tracks, including a newly-compiled CD of live performances, 'Vertigo Years 1971-2022'. An original member of the folk rock band Fairport Convention from 1967 to 1969 before leaving to form his own band Matthews Southern Comfort and topping the UK charts in 1970 with Joni Mitchell's 'Woodstock', Iain Matthews can rightly be described as a music legend. In the 1970s, as well as recording solo albums for Vertigo, Elektra and CBS/ Columbia, he was also a founder member of Plainsong whose 6CD box set 'Following Amelia' can also be found on Cherry Red Records. Still making albums and playing live to this day, his career in the music business is a classic example of talent married to longevity.
