50th Anniversary Edition / Incl. 12 Bonus Tracks

Description:

50th Anniversary Expanded Edition of the eponymous first album by Design on Vacancy Records. This reissue of â??Designâ??, their iconic first album, comes replete with twelve previously unreleased bonus tracks, including seven alternate takes and demos from the original sessions, plus five new tracks recorded by members of the group since leaving Design. â??Designâ?? was originally released in 1971, and has been hailed as â??the Holy Grail of soft rockâ?, featuring â??intricate harmonies with a psychedelic twistâ?. The group appeared with Tommy Cooper, on The Benny Hill Show, The Morecambe and Wise Show and many more. Over the next five years, Design released four more albums and 13 singles and appreared on over 50 TV shows. They undertook nationwide tours with Gilbert Oâ??Sullivan and The Hollies and performed in cabaret and at the London Palladium. The group finally disbanded at the end of 1976. In 2010, Barry Johnston from Design acquired the rights to the entire Design catalogue and has overseen the reissue of almost all their recordings on digital and CD. This special 50thAnniversary expanded reissue of â??Designâ?? holds a very special place in his heart and is truly a gem well worthy of rediscovery. - 50TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION / INCL. 12 BONUS TRACKS
