Steve Winwood released his second solo album, ”Arc of a diver” in December 1980. A multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, he recorded everything on the album himself. On its release the album peaked at number 13 in the album charts and managed a very respectable 20 weeks in the chart.
\nIt’s a real classic album that has comfortably stood the test of time – listening to it now it’s still stunningly good. It’s only fitting then that Universal have decided to give it the Deluxe Edition treatment.<\/p>\n
So what do we get with the Deluxe edition. Firstly Disc one is the album itself, sounding crystal clear and top quality. Then we have a second disc with the extras. There are different versions of three of the songs plus a BBD Radio 2 Documentary – ”Arc of a diver: The Steve Winwood story”. Presented by Kate Thornton its an excellent documentary which will definitely interest Steve Winwood fans, and it’s a nice addition to the album.<\/p>\n
It’s a great album that has been made even more impressive with these extras – highly recommended.<\/p>\n
