Esoteric Recordings is proud to announce the release of a 5CD clamshell boxed set of the second four albums in the Private Parts & Pieces series. 

Alongside album releases such as The Geese & The Ghost, Wise After the Event, Sides, Slow Dance, 1984 and Field Day, Anthony is also known for the successful series of Private Parts & Pieces albums. Beginning in 1978 the first four volumes featured an extensive range of music recorded by Ant for various projects (going as far back as 1972) and came to be regarded by fans as essential collections of his wide and diverse compositional work.

Now, Anthony Phillips and Jonathan Dann have compiled this 5 disc deluxe set, which gathers together the second four Private Parts & Pieces albums, along with an additional 19-track CD of previously unreleased material. Private Parts & Pieces V - VIII is the definitive statement on these classic albums.

The set includes a lavish booklet with an essay by Jonathan Dann and fully restores the artwork of the original vinyl releases.

Private Parts & Pieces V - VIII is due for release on 23rd September 2016 and is available to pre-order now from Cherry Red and Amazon.
