New Entries In Glenn Hughes’ Reissues Line

GLENN HUGHES - The Remasters
As we mentioned before, last month saw the launch of Glenn Hughes‘ reissue series on a recently resurrected Purple Records. And now, with his earliest and mid-’90s titles out of the way – and two albums from the beginning of that decade still in limbo – time has come for 1999’s “The Way It Is” and “Return Of Crystal Karma” from the following year to be expanded for August 18th re-release. In the case of "R.O.C.K" – as the latter album is known – there’s no real expansion, though, as São Paulo recordings housed on a second disc of the remastered edition made a bonus CD of its original edition, while a London concert, an official bootleg appended to the former record, hasn’t seen a light of day before. Both interesting offerings – one seeing Glenn cover Jimi Hendrix’s “Freedom” and the other finding Hughes unveil a Tony Iommi co-write “Gone” – these are pander to the veteran’s fans demands.
