Pentangle, The
Albums
5CD Cherry Red Records 2017
(CRCDBOX419)
Bellissimo
cofanetto che comprende i primi sette album del gruppo, rimasterizzati
da Nick
Watson negli studi Fluid Mastering, e una serie numerosa di bonus
tracks interessantissime
nella maggior parte dei casi. Il coordinatore del progetto per la
Cherry Red,
John Reed, ha fatto un lavoro eccellente. Anche il booklet che contiene
l'introduzione di Mike Houghton, le note di Colin Harper, è
ricco e
dettagliato. Apprezzabile infine la grafica ideata da Keith Davey
