The Graham Bond Organization - Wade In The Water: Classics, Origins & Oddities

The Graham Bond Organization - Wade In The Water is described as the essential collectors’ set, as well as the ‘biggest and most comprehensive collection of work ever’. 96 tracks over four CDs, including tracks from the classic albums, some remixed for the first time by Pete Brown and Dick Heckstall-Smith from the original 4-track masters. On top of that, rare are several unreleased performances, a ‘wild live gig’ by the original line-up (never heard before), rare demo sessions and some material of GBO backing other artists.

Disc One = 77:04 (26 Tracks)

Disc Two = 77:00 (28 Tracks)

Disc Three = 77:02 (24 Tracks)

Disc Four = 76:45 (18 Tracks)

These four discs are loaded with live tracks, alternate takes, unreleased demos, live sides, and even an entire gig from 1964 to close out the last disc. Wade in the Water: Classics, Origins & Oddities is not a mere odds and sods collection, but a deep, well-rounded portrait of the band from its beginnings at EMI to its glory years at Decca to Columbia and its eventual dissolution in 1967. The influence of these sides on British music cannot be overstated. It would inform not only the British blues scene, but its R&B and rock scenes, both at the time and in the future. One can hear Bond's influence on everyone from the Who and Georgie Fame, to the latter-era Jam and Paul Weller's solo material, the James Taylor Quartet, and the acid jazz scene in general. The notes are beautifully annotated, with a solid intro by producer Pete Brown, who, along with Heckstall-Smith, did a fine job remixing and remastering the material
