More Info:
A New Remastered And Expanded 4cd Clamshell Boxed Set Edition Of This Classic Album. Newly Remastered From The Original Master Tapes. Featuring 26 Additional Tracks Drawn From Alternate Mixes, Additional Studio Sessions And A Previously Unreleased Live Concert Recorded In St. Louis In April 1975. With Illustrated Booklet And New Essay. First released in October 1974, the album was a conceptual piece based upon the theme of a travelling circus and was recorded at Chipping Norton Studios in England. The studio had been the location of the recording of the band's previous album 'Remember The Future', issued in 1973. For 'Down to Earth' the band opted for a more direct approach to their music and sessions saw contributions from a horn section and legendary vocalist P. P. Arnold. By the time 'Down to Earth' was released in Europe, 'Remember The Future' had become a top twenty US hit and the band travelled to the States to embark on a successful tour. A second US visit followed in the spring of 1975 to promote 'Down to Earth'. The band enjoyed huge success in the mid-west playing two nights in St. Louis in April of that year. This new clamshell box edition comprises 4 CDs and has been newly remastered from the original master tapes. It also features 26 additional tracks, including a live-in-the-studio session recorded in March 1974, alternate mixes of the album tracks and a full previously unreleased concert recorded at the Keil Auditorium in St. Louis in April 1975. The set also includes an illustrated book with previously unseen photos and a new essay.
