Egg Archive
Egg were one of the most complex and musically adventurous bands ever to confront an audience. Starting life as the psychedelic blues group Uriel in 1968, the organ trio toured the UK extensively and recorded three highly acclaimed albums (Egg, The Polite Force and The Civil Surface) before disbanding in 1972.

egg - the metronomical society (signed cd)
The idea of an Egg retrospective CD arose when Dave Stewart was compiling bonus tracks for the re-release of Arzachel in 2007. In Dave's words: "There have been a few Egg bootlegs over the years, all terrible sound quality with inaccurate or non-existent documentation. I felt we should try to remedy this, and was delighted when music fan David Carruthers told us he had over an hour of archive Egg material on tape, recordings he'd stored carefully for 35 years and never copied - hats off to him. That discovery made the idea of an Egg archive CD feasible. Some of the music was recorded at our last-ever London gig at the Roundhouse in July 1972; those tapes reflect exactly how the band sounded to me on stage, with a bite, attack and visceral power that our '70s albums failed to capture."
