Major Tony Visconti retrospective coming this autumn
By Classic Pop | July 19, 2023
Edsel have announced a major boxset dedicated to the work of one of the world’s most acclaimed record producers, titled Produced By Tony Visconti. The 6CD/6LP/2LP sets are the first definitive retrospectives of the legendary Brooklyn-born maestro.
It’s out 20 October and is available to pre-order here.
Visconti has curated the 77-track (with 60 & 14 on vinyl) compilation and it features world-famous material from David Bowie, T.Rex, U2, Joe Cocker and many more, alongside lesser-known gems from the likes of The Good, The Bad & The Queen, Thin Lizzy, The Radiators, Zaine Griff, Gentle Giant, Manic Street Preachers and more from Tony’s 50 years of production credits.
Of the set, Tony says, “This boxset covers five and a half decades of my efforts in the art of making iconic recordings. Some of it is familiar and some will have a eureka moment, ‘I didn’t know Visconti produced that one!’”
Widely recognised as one of the most important producers of the rock and pop age, Tony has helped create countless classic musical moments and continues to inspire generations of musicians and producers.
In September 2016, Kingston University opened Visconti Studio, a tape-based recording studio in partnership with Visconti, the British Library and the Science Museum.
Produced By Tony Visconti will be released in strictly limited edition signed deluxe 4CD and 6LP boxsets and standard 4CD and 2LP sets.
Grammy-winning creatives Studio Barnbrook have designed the artwork. The 4CD set is housed in a deluxe 80-page casebound book and the 6LP set is housed in a deluxe slipcase with a 60-page (12×12) booklet, with previously unseen photographs, an introduction by Tony, extensive track-by-track liner notes by author and journalist Mark Paytress (including track-by-track commentaries by Tony), and tributes from a selection of featured artists.
The audio for the sets has been mastered by Phil Kinrade at AIR Mastering and personally approved by Tony.
