Our Take

Whether you know him as a legendary session musician, a punk-rock icon, or the guy who played guitar on that one hit song you love, there's no denying that Chris Spedding is an absolute legend. And now, thanks to The Rak Years: 4Cd Boxset, we get a comprehensive look at his work during his time at Rak Records. This boxset is a treasure trove for Spedding fans, featuring four discs packed with hits, rarities, and unreleased tracks. From his killer guitar work on hits like "Motorbikin'" to his lesser-known solo gems, this collection has something for everyone. The production quality on these recordings is top-notch, with each track sounding as crisp and fresh as the day it was first laid down. The remastering job is impeccable, bringing out all the nuances of Spedding's playing and allowing listeners to truly appreciate his skill as a guitarist. But what really sets this boxset apart is the sheer variety of music on offer. From glam rock to punk to new wave, Spedding proves that he can excel in any genre he sets his mind to. His versatility is truly staggering, and it's a joy to hear him tackle so many different styles with such gusto. Overall, The Rak Years: 4Cd Boxset is a must-have for any fan of Chris Spedding or just good music in general. It's a celebration of a true legend of the industry, and a reminder of why he's managed to stay relevant for so many decades. Trust us, you won't want to miss out on this one.
