Set for release on the thirtieth anniversary of his debut Rave On Andy White, Studio Albums 1986–2016 collects together all twelve of Andy’s studio albums, including the new and unreleased Imaginary Lovers, recorded in Melbourne late last year.
The Northern Irish singer-songwriter, who has previously collaborated with Peter Gabriel and Sinead O'Connor, was the recipient of Irish music's most coveted award , the Hot Press Songwriter of the Year Award, in 1993. Now he has sifted through back catalogues and trawled through cardboard boxes, lyrics, diaries and photo sessions to put together an 80-page book for the box set, writing notes on the songs and the story of how the albums were recorded.
Each week, leading up to release, Andy will be making and posting a video of one of the songs from each of the albums. Up first is 'Vision Of You', which Andy says is “As present to me today as the night/early morning I wrote it.”
