Eager to make his debut solo album distinctly diverse from the music he had recorded with Cream, it featured music which stylistically drew on jazz, folk, classical and rock influences.Joining Jack and producer Felix Pappalardi for the recording sessions at Londons Morgan Studios were some of Britains best musicians such as Chris Spedding, Jon Hiseman, Dick HeckstallSmith, John Marshall, Art Themen and Henry Lowther. One session was also notable for the presence of George Harrison. Songs For A Tailor was a chart success in both the UK and the USA and is now rightly regarded as a masterpiece and one of Jacks seminal works.This boxed set edition features the original 1969 album mix newly remastered from the original master tapes, along with wonderful new stereo and 5.1 Surround sound mixes of the album by Stephen W Tayler from the original 8track master tapes and previously unreleased session outtakes and demos. The set also includes the marvellous 1970 documentary Rope Ladder to the Moon on Blu Ray video for the first time. Originally screened by the BBC, this film features live performances and an insight into Jacks heritage, life and influences.
