One of the most influential progressive rock bands of the late ’60s and early ’70s, Soft Machine emerged from the UK underground in 1967, building a reputation through groundbreaking live performances and a celebrated run of albums. This extensive box set focuses on their most vital period, centred around their five CBS albums, newly remastered from the original quarter-inch tapes, alongside a previously unreleased alternate set of Fifth recordings.
It also includes their complete surviving BBC sessions and previously unavailable full concert recordings from across the UK, France, Belgium and Germany. Housed in a 12” x 12” slipcase with a hardback book of rare photographs and extensive notes by Sid Smith, this comprehensive collection documents a defining era in progressive rock.
