Through RHINO/WARNER'S we are releasing simultaneously two GLENN TIPTON solo
albums!!
The first is the remastered version of 'BAPTIZM OF FIRE' (originally
released in 1997) with two bonus tracks - one of which 'New Breed' Glenn
co-wrote with his daughter and features his son on drums and the other is
entitled 'Himalaya'!!
The second album 'EDGE OF THE WORLD' (previously unreleased tracks) features
rock greats COZY POWELL and JOHN ENTWISTLE!!
See below Glenn's comments:
"Back in '96 when I approached Atlantic Records regarding my first solo
album, the majority of the songs featured Cozy Powell on drums and John
Entwistle on bass guitar. The label liked the material but suggested that
the line up was a little 'old school' and that I should work with some
younger musicians and blend the new tracks in to give the album a more
modern feel. This I did as I had very little choice at the time and in all
honesty a very good album emerged which became my first release - 'Baptizm
Of Fire'.
However, deep down inside I knew that the first batch of songs included some
of the finest playing from two of the most talented and legendary musicians
that I have ever worked with! Rhino/Warners heard the tracks recently and
agreed that this album had to see the light of day!!
Tragically, both Cozy and John are no longer with us, as I'm sure everyone
will know, and this album is a tribute to their unique styles and skills and
a small part of the immense legacy they have left behind which will continue
to inspire people all over the world for many years to come."
