Anthony Phillips: Expanded “Sail The World” edition announced

An expanded re-issue of the Anthony Phillips album Sail The World has been announced today. The new version comes with an extra disc and 15 bonus track.

Sail The World was originally released in 1994. It was composed and recorded for the UK television coverage of the Whitbread Around the World Yacht race (see also: Anthony Phillips Recording Compendium, Part 5). The album proved popular among fans and was later reissued in 2010 to include an additional three bonus tracks. This new Esoteric Recordings edition has been newly remastered and expanded. It now includes a second CD featuring 15 previously unreleased bonus tracks of additional material and alternate mixes. The release also includes an illustrated booklet with a new essay by Jon Dann.
