Five CD box set \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures 2024 remasters of the three albums made for Vertigo Records at the start of his solo career in the early 1970s, and a live version of his first Vertigo album. Including 37 previously unreleased tracks, including a newly-compiled CD of live performances, 'Vertigo Years 1971-2022'. An original member of the folk rock band Fairport Convention from 1967 to 1969 before leaving to form his own band Matthews Southern Comfort and topping the UK charts in 1970 with Joni Mitchell's 'Woodstock', Iain Matthews can rightly be described as a music legend. In the 1970s, as well as recording solo albums for Vertigo, Elektra and CBS\/ Columbia, he was also a founder member of Plainsong whose 6CD box set 'Following Amelia' can also be found on Cherry Red Records. Still making albums and playing live to this day, his career in the music business is a classic example of talent married to longevity. This new box set, 'Thro' My Eyes: The Vertigo Years 1970-1974', features the three original albums from his album deal with Vertigo - 'If You Saw Thro' My Eyes', 'Tigers Will Survive', and 'Journeys From Gospel Oak' - alongside a wealth of previously unissued material from Iain's archives, including for the first time on CD material recorded during his 1971 residency at the Bitter End in New York with future Plainsong members Andy Roberts and Bobby Ronga and former Fairport bandmate Richard Thompson. Also included in this comprehensive collection are Vertigo era tracks recorded live in Paris, a live version of his first solo album recorded during an 18-date tour of The Netherlands in 2003, and tracks from the now long out-of-print 'Notebook Series'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf You Saw Thro' My Eyes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Desert Inn\u003cbr\u003e2 Hearts\u003cbr\u003e3 Never Ending\u003cbr\u003e4 Reno Nevada\u003cbr\u003e5 Little Known\u003cbr\u003e6 Hinge {Part One}\u003cbr\u003e7 Hinge {Part Two}\u003cbr\u003e8 Southern Wind\u003cbr\u003e9 It Came Without Warning\u003cbr\u003e10 You Couldn't Lose\u003cbr\u003e11 Morgan the Pirate \u003cbr\u003e12 Thro' My Eyes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLive at the Bitter End\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e13 Never Ending\u003cbr\u003e14 Hope You Know\u003cbr\u003e15 Please Be My Friend\u003cbr\u003e16 Genesis Hall\u003cbr\u003e17 Souling Song\u003cbr\u003e18 Woodstock\u003cbr\u003e19 Right Before My Eyes\u003cbr\u003e20 Reno Nevada\u003cbr\u003e21 Close the Door Lightly When You Go\u003cbr\u003e22 Road to Ronderlin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTigers Will Survive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Never Again\u003cbr\u003e2 Close the Door Lightly When You Go\u003cbr\u003e3 House Un-American Blues Activity Dream\u003cbr\u003e4 Morning Song\u003cbr\u003e5 The Only Dancer\u003cbr\u003e6 Tigers Will Survive\u003cbr\u003e7 Midnight on the Water\u003cbr\u003e8 Right Before My Eyes\u003cbr\u003e9 Da Doo Ron Ron\u003cbr\u003e10 Hope You Know\u003cbr\u003e11 Please Be My Friend\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIain Matthews Radio Session, April 1971\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e12 It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry\u003cbr\u003e13 Not Much at All\u003cbr\u003e14 Hearts\u003cbr\u003e15 Baby Ruth\u003cbr\u003e16 Home\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIain Matthews Radio Session, May 1971\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e17 There's a Woody Guthrie Song\u003cbr\u003e18 Thro' My Eyes\u003cbr\u003e19 Never Ending\u003cbr\u003e20 Desert Inn\u003cbr\u003e21 Close the Door Lightly When You Go\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJourneys From Gospel Oak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Knowing the Game\u003cbr\u003e2 Polly\u003cbr\u003e3 Things You Gave Me\u003cbr\u003e4 Mobile Blue\u003cbr\u003e5 Tribute to Hank Williams\u003cbr\u003e6 Met Her on a Plane\u003cbr\u003e7 Bride 1945\u003cbr\u003e8 Franklin Avenue\u003cbr\u003e9 Do Right Woman\u003cbr\u003e10 Sing Me Back Home\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBonus Tracks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e11 Devil in Disguise (Album Outtake)\u003cbr\u003e12 Met Her on a Plane (7\" Strings Version)\u003cbr\u003e13 Knowing the Game (2006 Re-Recording)\u003cbr\u003e14 Polly (2006 Re-Recording)\u003cbr\u003e15 Franklin Avenue (2006 Re- Recording)\u003cbr\u003e16 Tribute to Hank Williams (2006 Re-Recording)\u003cbr\u003e17 Devil in Disguise (2006 Re- Recording)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcoustic In Paris -
