UK's Debut Album To Be Released On Limited Edition 180 Gram
Vinyl  Exclusively To Record Store Day Participating Retailers
Los Angeles - Celebrating the 40th anniversary of UK's critically
acclaimed self-titled debut record released on Polydor in 1978,
Eddie Jobson is making this seminal album available on vinyl for
the first time since its original release. It will be released on
April 21st, and available exclusively to Record Store Day
participating retailers worldwide. The record is pressed on 180
gram vinyl, and includes an 8 page full color booklet designed
exclusively for this release. The album is remastered from the
original tapes located at Abbey Road Studios in London, which is
the same master that was used in the now out of print “Ultimate
Collector's Edition” box set that compiled all the works of UK's 3
albums, along with rarities, live material and 5.1 versions across
18 discs. “I'm pleased to recognize the 40th Anniversary of this
seminal album with this carefully remastered vinyl release. This is
now a legacy recording, made even more significant with the recent
passing of both Wetton and Holdsworth, that I hope will
represent a benchmark for future musicians.” - Eddie Jobson
The Music In October 1977 the new supergroup featuring Eddie
Jobson, Bill Bruford, John Wetton and Allan Holdsworth entered the
rehearsal room, each armed with a panoply of musical ideas. Each
song, theme, part or riff was logged in, like a jigsaw piece, and
so the organizing and arranging of the individual pieces began.
External expectations were high, not just for what these four
individual innovators might create together, but because Trident
Studios in Soho was already booked to record the results of their
highly anticipated collaboration. The music of UK would be
developed over several weeks. Wetton would reintroduce “Thirty
Years,” a song first tried out with the Wakeman trio; Bruford
brought in some harmonic, but mostly rhythmic ideas. Holdsworth's
contributions revolved around his distinctive chord voicings,
forming the foundation of such tracks as “Nevermore” and “Mental
Medication.” Meanwhile, Jobson - the more formal composer of the
group - brought in pages of musical notation that included the
entire “In The Dead of Night” suite, minus vocal melody lines, but
including “By The Light of Day” and the Zappa-influenced “Presto
Vivace,” along with a complete version of “Alaska,” the verse of
“Time To Kill” and half of “Nevermore.” The myriad musical ideas
were painstakingly stitched together, mainly by Bruford and Jobson,
but it would be Wetton's melodic and lyrical sense that would
ultimately glue the disparate stylings into something resembling
cohesive songs. Notwithstanding the considerable stylistic
contributions of Holdsworth and Bruford, with a full sixty percent
of the new album material emanating from Jobson's compositions, and
with the addition of Wetton's vocal melodies and lyrics, the first
UK album truly marked an auspicious beg...
