To celebrate the 50th Anniversary<\/strong> of Rory Gallagher’s<\/strong> eponymous 1971 debut solo album, UMC\/UMe is pleased to announce the September 3 <\/strong>release of a five-disc deluxe box set of the album. Rory Gallagher 50th Anniversary Edition<\/em><\/strong> will include a brand-new mix of the original album, 30 previously unreleased outtakes and alternate takes, a six-song 1971 BBC Radio John Peel Sunday Concert<\/strong>, plus four 1971 BBC Radio Sounds of the Seventies <\/strong>session tracks, all mastered at Abbey Road Studios.

Also included is a previously unreleased 50-minute DVD<\/strong> of Rory’s first-ever solo concert which was filmed in Paris for the \u201cPop Deux\u201d<\/strong> television show. All formats are available to pre-order HERE<\/strong><\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch the official trailer for the box set HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The extensive box set package will also contain a 32-page hardback book with many rare and previously unseen photographs from British rock photographer Barrie Wentzell<\/strong>, essays and memorabilia from the album recording including hand-written song lyrics by Rory, and an exclusive limited-edition poster.

The 2CD and 3LP editions of the album will be cut-down versions from the deluxe box set. There will also be a special limited-edition Neon Orange (transparent) 1LP featuring the John Peel Sunday Concert exclusively available via UMG\u2019s online stores uDiscover and Sound of Vinyl.

The box set will also include exclusive liner notes written by his brother and manager Donal Gallagher<\/strong>, his long-time bass guitarist Gerry McAvoy<\/strong> (1970-1991) and photographer Barrie Wentzell<\/strong>, plus a full 1971 interview with Rory by journalist Roy Eldridge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The debut album features some of the most beloved Rory songs such as \u201cI Fall Apart\u201d<\/strong> (Rory\u2019s second most streamed song), \u201cLaundromat\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cJust The Smile.\u201d<\/strong> While reviewing numerous tapes during the 2021 mixing sessions, two songs were added to the collection: the previously unreleased \u201cAt The Bottom,\u201d<\/strong> a track Rory ended up re-recording for his 1975 Against The Grain<\/em><\/strong> album, plus \u201cAdvision Jam,\u201d<\/strong> a rocking instrumental. The recording saw Rory Gallagher <\/strong>on guitar and lead vocals as well as alto sax, harmonica and mandolin, Gerry McAvoy<\/strong> on bass and Wilgar Campbell<\/strong> on drums. Atomic Rooster\u2019s Vincent Crane<\/strong> plays piano on two out of the 10 songs on the album \u201cWave Myself Goodbye\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cI\u2019m Not Surprised.\u201d<\/strong>

Rory had not played live since his previous band Taste<\/strong> disbanded on October 24, 1970.  When Rory\u2019s eponymous solo album was released in May 1971, he embarked on a 16-date UK tour that included 10 days touring Ireland and a short jaunt in Switzerland.  

Recorded at the legendary Advision Studios<\/strong> in Fitzrovia, London, Rory\u2019s eponymous debut album showcases the Irish guitarist as a multi-faceted interpreter of the blues with a cross-section of the blues from acoustic to heavy blues soul. Advision was one of the hottest recording studios in the 60s and 70s and home of classic albums recorded by The Yardbirds, The Who, The Move, T. Rex, David Bowie, Kate Bush, Elton John, Slade, Gentle Giant, Gerry Rafferty, and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If ever there was a \u201cmusician\u2019s musician\u201d then that accolade belongs to Rory Gallagher. Renowned for his blistering live performances and highly respected for his dedication to his craft, he died in 1995, aged just 47.

Rory\u2019s timeless reputation has continued to flourish in the years since. Indeed, some of rock\u2019s most seminal figures, from Jimi Hendrix to Eric Clapton, Joe Satriani to Joe Bonamassa, Queen\u2019s Brian May to The Smiths\u2019 Johnny Marr, Slash of Guns N Roses to the Edge of U2, have cited him as an influence. Rory remains a touchstone for all would-be guitar heroes in the 21st Century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
