Hello, 
It looks like there's a few Traffic and Steve Winwood fans on this site. and I was wondering if they had seen or heard about the 200+ page book - LP - 4 CD set that our little company (HiddenMasters) produced - called Evening Blue. 

It's a limited edtiion that chronicles the music of Chris Wood, the magical sax and flute player - not only his work with Traffic - but also his work with Nick Drake, Dr John, Tyrone Downey of The Wailers, John Martyn, Free, Ginger Baker's Airforce, Crawler and more.

Neil Storey produced the album which was remastered by Grammy-nominee Richard Whittaker of FX in London. 

It took a while to create, you can get a lot of details on this page

And also the full listing of the 66 tracks are here

It was very popular when it was released in February 2017, and Universal helped us distribute the book-set and they flew out the door But recently, we had some unopened copies returned to us from the warehouse and we'd like to offer them to loyal fans at the original price. We can see from eBay that some people have bought Evening Blue as an investment, and it is being sold at higher rates. But if you are a real fan and thought you missed out, we can help.

We got some great and unexpected reviews in Mojo, Record Collector, Shindig and Prog.  And we've also had a lot of very sincere comments from people all around the world who have enjoyed the book and the music.

This little video gives you an idea of the music and the book, there are others too.

If we can help anyone out with wanting a copy at the original price of £90, let us know.

	Hello, I work for HiddenMasters the publishers of the book-set *Chris Wood "Evening Blue"* that was released last year. It is a limited edition of 1000, and a few weeks ago we had some copies returned to us from various online music stores. They are all ex-warehouse stock, still unopened, still shrink wrapped in its own customized packing case. *Evening Blue* is a celebration of Chris Wood‘s life in music; co-founder of Traffic, sideman to Jimi Hendrix, Free, Third World, Nick Drake, Sky, Gordon Jackson and many, many more. Curated in close collaboration with his sister, Steph Wood Evening Blue features his long-thought-lost solo LP on vinyl, 4CDs in a 212 page hard back book Exclusive interviews with Steph Wood and Anna Capaldi-Gilbey; studio engineers Terry Barham and Brian Humphries; musicians Mike Kellie, Dick Cuthell, Steve Winwood, Poli Palmer, Pete Bonas, Maps (James Chapman), Gordon Jackson, Jess Roden, Bobby Whitlock, Shawn Phillips and others as well as photographers Brian Cooke, Barrie Wentzell, Gered Mankowitz, Dina Regine, Dan Cuny, David Miller, Richard Keith Wolff alongside Muscle Shoals Swampers David Hood and Charles Rose. The 4 CDs included music drawn from Chris’s entire career with his solo recordings taking centre-stage. We also featured alternate takes and mixes as well as previously unheard compositions and never-before-heard home demos and other sketches. Naturally, there was music from Traffic as well as recordings by Gordon Jackson, John Martyn, Dave Mason, Jim Capaldi, Bobby Whitlock, Airforce, Martha Velez, Nick Drake, Shawn Phillips and others. Evening Blue also featured Chris’s previously unheard collaborative work with The Wailers’ keyboard player, Tyrone Downie as well as Rebop Kwaku Baah, Remi Kabaka, The Sky, Dr John & Jeanette Jacobs. Tracks from the only known-to-survive recordings by the short-lived Mason, Capaldi, Wood & Frog line-up were also included as was a brand new 2015 collaboration – Maps with Chris Wood. And… Chris’s never-released solo LP on 180gsm vinyl. Long thought lost, the ¼” masters were discovered by chance in an outbuilding in the West of England during the late-spring of 2013. Over half the music featured on Evening Blue had never been heard before. And, other than in three instances (where the analog reels no longer existed), all the recordings were sourced from the original 2″ and 1″ multitracks or ¼” masters and cassettes captured at 24bit/96Khz. The whole set was re-mastered by Richard Whittaker at FX Mastering in London – the CDs at 16bit/44.1Khz and the vinyl at 24bit/48Khz. As we are the originators, we can offer this stock at the original selling price of £90 plus shipping.
