<b>OBS! Import.</b><br/><br/>One of the most influential progressive rock bands of the late '60s/early '70s, Soft Machine's initial line-up was Robert Wyatt (drums, vocals), Kevin Ayers (bass, guitar, vocals), Daevid Allen (guitar) and Mike Ratledge (organ). They emerged from the UK underground in 1967, featuring prominently at epoch-making London venues such as the UFO Club and Middle Earth to establish a powerful reputation over the next decade with a series of accomplished albums and some innovative concert performances (notably in the UK and France) and with a support slot on the Jimi Hendrix Experience US tours throughout 1968. After two albums for ABC/Probe - 'The Soft Machine' and 'Volume Two' - they signed to CBS/Columbia with a line-up consisting of Wyatt, Ratledge, saxophonist Elton Dean and bassist Hugh Hopper, releasing their most successful long player, 'Third', in 1970. This was followed by four more albums during a period of significant acclaim across Europe, and a frequently evolving line-up. Soft Machine disbanded in 1978, apart from the occasional reunion, before being relaunched as Soft Machine Legacy in 2004, touring extensively and making many more albums. Since 2016 they have been known simply as Soft Machine and in March 2026 the current line-up issued the album, 'Thirteen'. This extensive boxed set presents the story of the most vital, influential period in the Soft Machine story. Centred around their five CBS albums, all remastered from the original ¼-inch tapes and including the discovery of an entirely different and previously unreleased set of recordings of their 'Fifth' album, it also contains all of their extant BBC sessions (some have been released before, decades ago, these are the complete performances for the first time) and a significant amount of previously unavailable audio-visual, full concert recordings from Europe (UK/France/Belgium/Germany). Packaged in a sturdy 12' x 12' slipcase, with a hardback book featuring many rare photographs and extensive notes by journalist and author Sid Smith, progressive rock fans (who buy detailed boxed sets like this in large quantities), will delight in this comprehensive examination of one the great names in the genre.<br/><br/><i>Typ: CD / Box Set with Blu-ray</i>
