Cadmium: Cd / Dvd 2 Disc Expanded Edition

Deluxe two disc (CD + NTSC/Region 0 DVD) edition. Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this album by the legendary classical rock band. Formed in 1979, Sky brought together the worlds of rock and classical music in a highly successful and inspiring way. Featuring the gifted talents of guitarist John Williams, percussionist Tristan Fry, legendary bass player Herbie Flowers, former Curved Air keyboard player Francis Monkman and guitarist Kevin Peek. For the band's third album, Steve Gray replaced Monkman on keyboards, but the band continued their run of success as Sky 3 reached the UK top ten upon it's release in March 1981. In 1983 this line-up undertook extensive touring and then recorded their sixth album at Abbey Road Studios. This would be the last Sky album to feature John Williams. Cadmium was released in December 1983 and the band marked this by performing at London's Drury Lane Theatre on 18th December, a concert which was recorded by BBC TV. Unavailable on CD for over two decades, this Esoteric Recordings reissue has been newly remastered and adds three bonus tracks on the CD and also features a DVD of the previously unreleased BBC recording of Sky at Drury Lane, along with a performance of the piece Troika on the Val Doonican Show from December 1983.
