Nektar - A Tab In The Ocean - Deluxe Limited Edition 4CD + Blu-ray - Music & Performance - CD

An expanded deluxe edition of 'A Tab in the Ocean' by Nektar. First issued in November 1972, the album was the second release by Nektar and was a milestone for the band as it set the template that that would bring them success in both Germany and the USA. Originally featuring just four pieces, the albums first side would be dominated by the extensive title track which was a progressive rock tour de force. The remaining tracks, 'Desolation Valley / Waves', 'Crying in the Dark' and 'King of Twilight' would also become Nektar classics. The album was recorded and mixed at Dierks Studios, Stommeln, Germany in October 1972, produced by Peter Hauke & Nektar and engineered by Dieter Dierks. Among the admirers of this album was Steve Harris of Iron Maiden and his band would cover 'King of Twilight' on the B-side of their 'Aces High' single in 1984. This new box set edition features 4CDs and a region free Blu-ray disc and has been newly remastered from the original master tapes. It includes a new stereo & 5. 1 Surround Sound mix of the album and also features a marvellous, previously unreleased complete concert recorded in Erbach, Germany in April 1973 and a newly remastered version of the 1976 US album version.
