Biography

Trower grew up in the seaside resort of Southend-on-Sea, Essex. In 1962, Trower formed a group that became The Paramounts, later including fellow Southend High School pupil Gary Brooker. The Paramounts disbanded in 1966 to pursue individual projects. During this time, Trower created a local three-piece band called 'The Jam' - not to be confused with the later group with Paul Weller.

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Ever since I heard my first Robin Trower record back in 1973 at 21yrs old I had always thought that the voice behind the guitar was Robin Trower himself.
Not that I did'nt enjoy excellent psychedelic blues rock guitar for its own sake, its just that the vocals of James Dewar were such an added blessing to the already Hendrix inspired power chords. It was by all definitions a perfect match. Add to this the focused drumwork of Bill Lordan and you had one of the most consistant power trios' of the 1970s, who made an awesome run of albums for Chrysalis Records.

As exemplified on the first set of Trower's output captured on the complementary box setA Tale Untold: the.. the definitive sound of the Trower-Dewar-Lordan lineup through 1983 is solidly boxed together on 3 more jam-packed cds (6 more albums!)all with 2012 remastereded sound (the earlier set is the 2010 remaster).

To make this package even more enticing, 2 of these 6 albums have the collaborative efforts of Jack Bruce's vox fronting those massive power chords. As if Dewar isn't enough for incredible voice (just check out 'Bluebird') there are two more albums with perhaps one of the all time greatest, Jack Bruce!
Truth be told when all's "sung" and done (imho), Dewar is better suited for Trower's guitar. Bruce does a fine job on the two representational albums however when the last album to finish this box unfolds Dewar's wonderful voice is a welcome return.

I find that the years represented here for Chrysalis the most interesting 'cause we find the BAND mixing it up abit with variations on their "sound"....but always consistant, powerful and ferociously Robin Trower. The years covered here are relatively 'new' to me so's I have the pleasure of exploring these sounds for the first time...at 60! (yup, I'm twice removed from yesterday's madness).

There are lengthy informative liner notes for this box set, better than the first (1973-76) segment cause it had none. Also we have some decent pix of James Dewar as well as Lordan and Jack Bruce. On the earlier set there was only a teeny-tiny picture, hardly visible amongst numerous repetative Trower shots. All in all the booklet layout for this set is much more polished, proportioned and artsy. The jewel housing is in the same, sturdy quality box.

This is a no brainer folks. Don't forget 'A Tale Untold, 1973-76 either. Both are essential listening, and essential rock.

Excellent Value! 16 Mar 2012
Format:Audio CD
While to me the material on this second version is not quite as strong as Chrysalis Years Vol.1 I would still rate this release 5 stars because you get six(!) albums of remastered Trower from his the late 70's/early 80's period at one very low price. The booklet is more informative here also, so its a no brainer to pick this up if you liked Vol. 1. If you are new to or just getting in to Robin's work I would suggest you start with Vol.1 & then move into Vol.2. Its nice to see that there is still great value being offered by the big music labels after all of the overpriced Immersion & Super Deluxe box sets being released recently. Highly recommended!!

Excellent music...this completes the great run of Robin Trower albums. It's also great to see a well deserved mention for James Dewar on the cover, he was always the icing on the cake for me. This is not to decry the material featuring Jack Bruce, I just love Jimmy's voice more.
