IQ – Ever 2018 Remix – 25th Anniversary Collector's Edition (2CD + DVD)
Ever, the hugely popular IQ album that saw the return of vocalist Peter Nicholls to the fold in the early nineties, turned 25 in 2018. To mark this occasion, GEP released a special ‘definitive’ 3-disc edition of the album featuring an all new 2018 remix by Michael Holmes.
Presented in an 8-panel digipak format with a 40-page booklet, the package includes extra material on the first disc, along with newly recorded live versions of the whole album on disc 2. Disc 3 (DVD) contains a surround sound mix of the studio album plus a surround mix of the live material, along with over 2 hours of ‘further listening’ files comprising album demos, studio outtakes, rehearsal tapes and unused ideas. All in all disc 3 contains nearly 4 hours of music.
The 40-page booklet is packed with lots of contemporary photos, stories and memories from the time and features contributions from all band members of 1992.
