The Albums

This 8 disc 103 track box set covers all of the releases by Sutherland Brothers and Quiver during the period 1971-79 for both Island and CBS Records.

Disc One is the self-titled Sutherland Brothers album, produced by Muff Winwood and featuring the single ‘The Pie’ which was later covered by (of all people!) the Bay City Rollers on their “Strangers In The Wind” album.

The second disc features 1972’s Lifeboat album which now adds seven bonus tracks, four taken from the USA version of the album. Also added is the single ‘Sailing’ which though not a hit for the band, gave Rod Stewart an international chart topper. The single ‘You Got Me Anyway’, however, did reach No. 48 in the USA, No. 25 in Canada and No. 34 in Australia.

Disc Three is 1973’s Dream Kid album which now adds a previously non-album cut as a bonus.

1974’s Beat Of The Street is on Disc Four and features two previously non-album cuts as a bonus.

Disc Five is 1975’s Reach For The Sky album which reached No. 26 in the UK charts. It features the hit single ‘Arms Of Mary’ which hit No. 5 in the UK, No. 17 in Germany and the top spot in both Holland and Ireland. Again, two non LP tracks have been added as a bonus. Making a guest appearance is Pink Floyd’s Dave Gilmour.

The sixth disc is 1976’s Slipstream album which includes the UK No. 35 hit single ‘Secrets’. The album itself reached No. 49 in the UK charts. Six previously non LP bonus tracks have been added to the Down To Earth album including rare cuts from the USA version of the album. All produced by The Shadows’ Bruce Welch.

The final disc is 1979’s When The Night Comes Down opus which features the No. 50 UK hit single ‘Easy Come Easy Go’. The detailed booklet includes an in-depth new interview with the main band members by webmaster Brian Mathieson.
