ESOTERIC RECORDINGS are pleased to announce the long overdue release of the re-mastered edition of the classic 1975 album “Bundles” by the celebrated Jazz and Rock group SOFT MACHINE. The album was the band’s first for EMI’s Harvest label and featured a line-up of MIKE RATLEDGE (keyboards), KARL JENKINS (Oboe, Piano, Soprano Sax), JOHN MARSHALL (Drums), ROY BABBINGTON (Bass) and new member ALLAN HOLDSWORTH (Guitar). An accessible collection, “Bundles” featured Holdsworth’s considerable guitar playing talents and opened a new chapter for the band, and attracted much praise upon release. Unavailable on CD for nearly 15 years, this Esoteric Recordings reissue has been re-mastered from the original tapes and fully restores the original artwork.
