2024 Reissue of 1983 Album on 180g Vinyl LP!
Acoustic Guitar Music from Genesis's Steve Hackett!
Remastered for Vinyl!
Part of a series of reissues from Steve Hackett's classical catalogue showcasing his diverse skill. Bay of Kings was originally released in 1983, and is his first album of instrumental, classical guitar music, with contributions from Nick Magnus and John Hackett. Newly remastered especially for vinyl, this release comes in a gatefold sleeve on 180g vinyl.
One of the guitarist's strongest efforts ever, truly a labor of love. Hackett had taken great care recording his guitar, and his efforts shine throughout this gorgeous-sounding album. The beautiful guitar work was complemented in places by strings and flute (the latter played by Steve's brother John). There are remakes of two of Steve's earlier pieces, 'Horizons' (from the Genesis album Foxtrot) and 'Kim' (from Hackett's Please Don't Touch LP), both of which improved on the originals.
