Bridge of Sighs, Robin Trower's sophomore album following his departure from Procol Harum.
Lauded critically, commercially a breakthrough, the album saw Robin push his trio's initial concept into exciting new territory. Accompanied by James Dewar on soulful vocal and bass duty and Reg Isidore underpinning their psychedelic blues sound with masterful drumming. Producer and former Procol Harum bandmate Matthew Fisher and Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick take on control room duties to help bring this stunning collection of songs together.
50 years later, the recordings have been newly mixed from the original tapes, and we are proud to present the most expansive version of the album to date.
