Widely regarded as an iconic guitar hero who single-handedly revolutionised the electric guitar. A guitarist who consistently rated as one of the greatest and most influential guitarists by his peers.
Even aside from his successful and lengthy solo career and Marvin, Welch & Farrar, as a member of The Shadows and with Cliff Richard, Hank Marvin has played on approximately seventy hit singles and over fifty hit albums in the UK alone. The global hits across the decades in such countries as Australia, South Africa, Japan, France, Germany, Holland and countless others underline the global success in which he played a major part, writing, playing and singing.
Packaged in the 7” Deluxe gatefold packaging, with glued-in 12-page booklet, this 5CD, 71-track anthology contains his five solo albums recorded between 1982 and 1995; “Words And Music”, “All Alone With Friends”, “Into The Light”, “Heartbeat”, “Hank Plays Cliff”, with the bonus track ‘Nivram’ which appeared on the CD single ‘Wonderful Land’. Hank’s great vocal delivery proves that he’s not a simply a guitarist, especially on the ‘Don’t Talk’ and ‘The Trouble With Me Is You’ from “Words And Music”.
These albums include guest appearances and performances from Duane Eddy, Mark Knopfler, Brian May and Cliff Richard, with production handled by Peter Vince (with help from Hank), Christopher Neil and Jeff Lynne, the latter’s touch clearly audible on ‘Wonderful Land’ and ‘Nivram’.
The 12-page booklet include an edited version of a previous introspective essay by acclaimed broadcaster, presenter and music writer, Mike Read.
