La Edgar Broughton Band irrompe sulla scena musicale del Regno Unito nel 1969 e fa da apripista alla controcultura underground, proponendo musica rock con una coscienza sociale. Provenienti da Warwick e composti da EDGAR BROUGHTON (chitarre, voce),
STEVE BROUGHTON (batteria, voce) e ARTHUR GRANT (basso, voce), il loro approccio duro in una serie di album di successo per letichetta Harvest della EMI e le apparizioni ai leggendari concerti gratuiti di Hyde Park e la reputazione di essere una vera
e propria “band del popolo”. Nel 1970 la band si arricchisce del chitarrista VICTOR UNITT. Nei quattro anni successivi la Edgar
Broughton Band registrò una serie di sessioni per Top Gear e Sounds Of The 70s, oltre a due memorabili apparizioni in concerto.
Questo nuovo cofanetto ufficiale in 4CD raccoglie queste registrazioni, tutte rimasterizzate dai master della BBC, e contiene 32
brani inediti.
