Esoteric Recordings has announced that an expanded and remastered 2 disc edition of former YES singer Jon Anderson‘s classic debut solo album, Olias of Sunhillow, will be released on March 26.
Originally released in July 1976, the album was a conceptual work recounting the story of an alien race on a journey to find a new world following volcanic destruction on their home planet. All music on the album was written and performed by Jon Anderson.
The new version has been remastered from the original album master tapes and also features a booklet with a new essay and exclusive interview with the former lead singer of the progressive rock band.
The expanded edition of Olias of Sunhillow includes a DVD featuring a high resolution 96 kHz / 24-bit re-master of the stereo mix and also includes a high resolution 5.1 Surround Sound up-mix derived from the original stereo master tapes as an additional feature.
Anderson said that he listened to the whole album again a month ago and felt such joy and gratefulness to have gone through that experience.
“And here I am so many years later going through a similar musical journey,” he added.
