It’s not even February, when – as we recently reported – Anthony Phillips‘ reissue programme on Esoteric is to continue with an expanded edition of “Wise After The Event,” but there’s already a release date for its follow-up. April 15th is when a box set of “Sides” will see the light of day: a four-disc bonanza of sorts, comprised of three CDs – a remaster of original 1979 LP, its new mix and a collection of relevant material – and a DVD with a 5.1 mix. Some say it’s an overkill, yet with pop-minded cuts like “Um & Aargh” or “Holy Deadlock” and prog classicism to the other pieces the more the better.
