NEWLY REMASTERED 2 CD SET OF THE ALBUMS "ARDOURS OF THE LOST RAKE” & "COALS TO JERUSALEM” BY PETE BROWN & PHIL RYAN WITH FOUR PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED BONUS TRACKS Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce the release of a newly remastered two CD set of the albums "ARDOURS OF THE LOST RAKE” and "COALS TO JERUSALEM” by PETE BROWN & PHIL RYAN. Pete Brown is perhaps best known for being lyricist on the classic songs co-written with JACK BRUCE for both CREAM and Jack’s solo albums. In addition Pete is a respected performer in his own right, having performed with the band’s BATTERED ORNAMENTS and PIBLOKTO! in the 70s and fronting his own band, The Interocetors. PHIL RYAN has had a respected career as keyboard player for legendary bands such as EYES OF BLUE, MAN and NEUTRONS, along with a spell as keyboard player in PIBLOKTO! with Pete Brown. Both albums in this set were originally released in 1991 and 1993 respectively and feature fine material. Unavailable for many years, this set has been newly remastered and features four previously unreleased bonus tracks. The set also features an illustrated booklet with new essay written by Pete Brown.
