Esoteric Recordings announce with a Facebook post a Kevin Ayers‘ new boxset and LP reissues.
The label states:
On this, the 10th anniversary of his sad passing, all of us at Esoteric Recordings and Cherry Red Records wish to remember the wonderful Kevin Ayers and his music. The late and much-missed DJ John Peel once stated: “Kevin Ayers’ talent is so acute you could perform major eye surgery with it.” We couldn’t agree more and so it is with great pleasure that we can announce that Kevin’s legacy will be served with a series of releases on Esoteric Recordings, beginning later this year, which will encompass two deluxe boxed sets which cover his acclaimed work recorded between 1969 and 1980, vinyl reissues of his classic albums from this period and a new remastered release of Kevin’s acclaimed album “Falling Up,” originally issued in 1988. We will be working closely with Kevin’s daughter, Galen Ayers (also a talented and gifted musician) to ensure the definitive presentation of Kevin’s work. Further announcements and details will follow closer to release dates.
