Journey Through Time: Complete Studio Album Coll

Limited 21 CD set from the Dutch progressive rockers. This box holds the band’s sixteen studio album (including three double albums) and two bonus CD’s with non-album tracks, rarities and demo’s. One of the bonus CD’s most remarkable items is ‘Happy New Year’, a Kayak demo dating from ’74 or ’75, that has never been released. There are several Kayak-related tracks like the singe ‘Fluffy’/ ‘White Walls’ (1970) by High Tide Formation (with Pim Koopman, Ton Scherpenzeel, Chiel van Praag and Ron v.d. Werff). Then there’s an outstanding collection of no less than eight home-recorded demos of previously unreleased material by Pim, Ton, Johan Slager and Carwin Gijsing under the name of Ten Ride Ticket. The Plan (with Ton and the Kay-ettes) are represented by their 1982 single If This Ain’t Love/Hit Bottom. Finally we mention the version of ‘I Want You To Be Mine’ that in 1978 took Kayak to the USA Top 50. Worth mentioning is the fact that an empty wallet has included an for the yet to be released album Seventeen, which enables the true Kayak collector to really complete this unique album set. Albums have been remastered from the original studio master tapes.
