I've waited a while for PP&P III (Antiques) to be remastered so I was happy to see it released as a double with PP&P IV (A catch at the tables). Antiques is a personal favourite of mine and this latest CD release includes an extra seven tracks of which six are alternative takes and one, El Cid is a previously unreleased track. A catch at the tables includes two extra tracks.
If you like well played acoustic guitar music, Antiques is the one for you. The album is a series of duets with Enrique (Quique) Berro Garcia although some tracks have overdubs to flesh out the sound. Here, the extra alternative takes showcase the tunes as they were originally conceived as duets.
A catch at the tables is a solo effort by Ant and he plays polymoog and mellotron on some of the tracks. My favourite piece is Eduardo, played on an 8 string Rudloff, this piece is intense and shows off Ant's incredible playing. If you listen carefully to this piece you can hear the tension in Ant's breathing which makes the recording sound more intimate.
A lot of Ant's music is of a gentle and romantic nature, music that will move you on an emotional level but sadly overlooked by too many people. For me, this is a five star recording.

Here is the long awaited final re-release of Anthony Phillips long running Private Parts and Pieces Series. It was delayed so that he could add some nice bonus tracks.
Part III Antiques is unique from the first two releases in that it is all new stuff and follows a set theme that being Guitar Duets with Enrique Berro Garcia. There are some really strong pieces on here. compared with the other albums in the series i haven't listened to this one as much but i think now that i finally have it on cd that is gonna change it is a beautiful album. the bonus tracks are nice to have there are several alternate takes and most importantly one unreleased tracks featuring the two guitarists that adds to the album nicely.
Part IV A Catch at the Tables returns more to the form of the first 2 with a varied collection of pieces capped off by a vocal at the end. I think there is a bit too much reliance on drum machine to my liking but there are some really nice pieces on here. i actually really love sistine and i don't know why it was cut from invisible men as i like it more than anything on that one. the bonus tracks here are very short but sweet. I believe two of these are new to this release.
overall another extremely strong collection and the bonus tracks make it a no brainer to upgrade from vinyl for me!
