​Ian Gillan is set to release a retrospective box set detailing the second phase of his post-Deep Purple solo career. The set - originally slated for release on 2nd September - will now surface on 7th October.  Concentrating on the period between 1979 and 1982, 'The Vinyl Collection' is set to feature five albums spread across seven LPs.  

Concentrating on the period between 1979 and 1982, 'The Vinyl Collection 1979 - 1982' is set to feature five albums spread across seven LPs.  

Demon Records has announced the release date of 23rd September for the box set, which  will feature five chart albums - 7 LPs in total - including; Mr Universe (1979), Glory Road (1980, 2 LPs, with bonus disc ‘For Gillan Fans Only’), Future Shock (1981), Double Trouble (2 LPs, 1981) and Magic (1982).

Ian Gillan was delighted with the vintage feel of the finished product. Said the iconic singer:  “It’s a wonderful thing, vinyl… Best held in two hands and treated with respect, as you place it carefully upon the turntable. You just bought something significant, not easily disposable. And look at the sleeves” - he comments, observing one of the records - “aren’t they cool. Read the lyrics and enjoy the artwork, while you are in the groove. No computers involved in the making of this music…enjoy”.

The 180g heavyweight vinyl records will all be exact replicas of their first pressings. 'Future Shock', Gillan’s highest scoring album, reaching No.2 in the UK chart, will include the same 16-page booklet as featured in its original release. An exclusive edition available via Amazon will also contain a bonus 7” single for Spanish Guitar.

Among the  classic Gillan tracks featured in the collection include 'Sleeping On The Job', 'No Easy Way', 'Trouble', 'Mutually Assured Destruction', 'New Orleans', 'No Laughing In Heaven', 'Nightmare', 'Restless' and 'Living For The City'. The full track listing can be viewed below. 

Gillan was born on the ashes of the Ian Gillan Band in 1978, when Ian decided to abandon the jazz-fusion style of his previous project in favour of a more progressive direction. The band was dissolved in 1982 following the 'Magic' tour, partly due to Gillan’s health issues with his vocal chords. 

Ascended to rock royalty status as the lead singer of Deep Purple, Ian Gillan continued making an impact on the rock scene, and has become an erudite elder statesman of the genre. To this day he approaches writing, recording and touring with the zeal, passion and commitment of an eighteen year old.
