Description

Thread - limited edition first pressing 1000 copies only, will includes a bonus CD with previously unreleased tracks, all remastered 24 bits by Steve Mann and extensive liner notes by Vince DiCola and Dave Reynolds. All will be numbered 1-1000 / Vince DiCola Keyboards (including keyboard, bass and guitars), background vocals, additional percussion programming / Ellis Hall Lead and background vocals /Doane Perry Drums and percussion. Additional musicians: Mark Boals, John De Faria, Rocket Ritchotte, Shem von Schroeck, Rick Livingstone. Film composer Vince DiCola and former Jethro Tull drummer Doane Perry have a long musical history together and have been close friends for decades. Thread, featuring DiCola and Perry alongside vocalist Ellis Hall, was a band that proudly offered progressive rock at its finest. Ellis Hall's contributions are particularly notable amongst such brilliance. An absolutely fantastic singer, Hall had previously recorded as part of the fictional R&B group the California Raisins as well as the very real-life Tower Of Power. Some exciting bonus material has been added for this Escape Music reissue. These additional songs feature incredible and memorable vocal performances from Mark Boals (Yngwie Malmsteen, Foundry, Dokken), Shem von Schroeck (Ambrosia/Toto) and Vince himself. Additional personnel included three amazing guitar players... the afore-mentioned Mark Boals, Rocket Ritchotte (Black Rose, Steppenwolf, Stan Bush, Barrage) and John Defaria (Gloria Estefan & the Miami Sound Machine, Kenny Loggins, David Foster). The resulting album is brilliant, at times verging on a West coast version of Kansas. The album, originally released in 1996 on Laughing Gull Records, is utterly brilliant and one of the greatest unsung prog rock albums of all-time, here it is to be enjoyed with a superb remaster and a bonus disc.
