The CD includes the "Phantoms" album in its entirety + the non-crossover tracks from Radiator's "Isn't It Strange" (there wasn't room for both versions of 'Corporation Rock' so we've used the longer "Phantoms" cut).

Also included are the five 1975 demos featuring Keith Fisher and Bob Barton which were heard in rough form on the Digging 4 Treasures bootleg. Bob provided the original spool copy for this release and the quality is fantastic.

The CD comes with a 12 page booklet featuring original LP artwork. Ray Laidlaw also provided a couple of lovely photos which are previously unpublished and I've researched and written extensive sleevenotes on the period, unearthing some fresh information along the way.

This CD includes the CD debut of Lindisfarne mainman, 1979's 'Phantoms' (tracks 1-10), with bonus tracks from Radiator's 1977 'Isn't It Strange' (tracks 11-14) plus previously unreleased 1975 demos (tracks 15-19).

Lindisfarne co-founder Alan Hull forged a successful solo career with albums ‘Pipedream’ and ‘Squire’. Whilst, by late 1977 the band was back in business again, Hull was busy heading a new band, Radiator with former members of Snafu and Ginger Baker’s post-Cream group Airforce. With this lineup he would release Isn’t It Strange, the majority of which was repackaged in 1979 for Phantoms – both for Elton John’s Rocket Record Company.

This first time CD reissue compiles these albums (removing most track duplication) and adding five bonus demos from 1975. The
collection forms a lasting reminder of Hull’s fluid, deceptively catchy, and pleasing melodies, and rich, deeply evocative phrasing and imagery.
