Van der Graaf Generator will release The Charisma Years, a 20-disc box set, on September 3. It covers VdGG’s entire recorded works for Charisma Records. It will include 17 CDs and three Blu-ray discs, including previously unheard tracks and unreleased footage, with new stereo and surround sound remixes. It will also include a 68-page book and rare photographs.
“It’s wonderful to have the whole recorded history of those years collected together as a complete set and the new mixes shed quite a different light on many of the pieces,” says Peter Hammill. “This is about as comprehensive a documentation of that exciting time in our lives as it’s possible to get.”
