EDGAR WINTER GROUP & WHITE TRASH: I’VE GOT NEWS FOR YOU, FEATURING THE EDGAR WINTER GROUP & EDGAR WINTER’S WHITE TRASH 1971 – 1977, 6CD CLAMSHELL BOXSET

15th February 2018 1 By John Deaux

What can be said about multi instrumentalist Edgar Winter that hasn’t been said before? Well, this box says a lot.

Spanning 6 incredibly prolific years featuring some amazing artists like Rick Derringer and Jerry Lacroix, I’ve Got News For You has 6 brilliant albums that have been expanded with singles, edits and mono versions. In fact 28 tracks spread over the 6 discs.

The great thing about these albums is the amount of differing musical styles that are contained within each album.

From rockers such as Frankenstein,

Gospel Blues of Give It Everything You’ve Got, (which has been recently covered by Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa on the album Black Coffee)
and of course I Just Can’t Turn You Loose which was featured in the classic 1980’s movie, The Blues Brothers

This box truly has something for everyone with an eclectic taste in music, and when you have sleeve notes by the musical guru that is Malcolm Dome, you know you’re onto a winner.

This is an absolute monster of a set that has been put together in a stunning Clam Shell box with the albums housed in replica album artwork cardboard sleeves. If you’ve been looking to replace the vinyls (which now go for some silly money) then look no further.

Score 7.5/10
