Vax Records fyller härmed en lucka i den svenska populära musikhistorien. Berättelsen om den framgångsrika sångkvartetten Wiggers - som på sin tid var stilbildande och som fick en mycket stor framgång via folkparker, skivor, radio, biofilmer - men som idag är helt bortglömd. <br/>Kvartetten tillhörde 1930-talets absoluta artistelit. De var först i Sverige med att popularisera kvartettsång och kallades "de första svenska jazzsångarna". De fyra medlemmarna kom från Operakören och inspirerades av internationella grupper som The Revellers och Comedian Harmonists.<br/>Den kompletta skivboken om Wiggers är också den första utgåvan i serien "Svenska historiska inspelningar" som består av en fyllig biografisk bok om artisten/gruppen, många bilder och när det gäller Wiggers, en komplett utgivning av deras inspelningar på sex medföljande CD-skivor.<br/>Flera av skivinspelningar finns inte ens bevarade i Kungliga bibliotekets 78-varvssamling. Det är alltså ett mycket unikt material som sammanställts till eftervärlden. Följ denna unika satsning från början, en tidsmaskin i text, bilder och ljud, som uppmärksammar vår svenska populära kulturhistoria.<br/>Förutom Wiggers medverkar många av tidens stora artister på inspelningarna, som Zarah Leander, Artur Rolén, Sven Olof Sandberg, Evert Taube samt några av den tidens mest framstående orkestrar som Håkan von Eichwalds, Karl Wehles, Gustaf Egerstams, Nils Grevillius och Sune Waldimirs.

Ett litet hål är tryckt på steckkoden, i övrigt utan fel.

Script For A Jester's Tear was Marillion debut studio album originally released on 13 March 1983, reaching number seven in the UK Albums Chart (eventually achieving a platinum status) and produced the two Top 40 singles He Knows You Know (35) and Garden Party (16).<br/><br/>Formed in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, in 1979, the band went through several personnel changes before recording their debut album. Having attracted attention with a three-track session for the Friday Rock Show they were signed by EMI Records releasing their first single, Market Square Heroes, in October 1982 with their debut album Script For A Jester's Tear following a few months later after their second single He Knows You Know.<br/><br/>The CD version will have the same audio across 4CD plus a bonus Blu-Ray featuring "The Script Interviews" a wonderful documentary covering the formation of the band through to the release of Script For A Jester's Tear in their own words.

Between April and July 1974 King Crimson embarked on a tour of Canada and America which has come to be recognised as one of the most powerful series of concerts performed not just by Fripp, Cross, Wetton and Bruford but by any band of the era.<br/> <br/>The band, who had been rarely off the road - except to record studio albums - chose to perform a selection of recent material from the then newly released Starless And Bible Black, older fan favourites, newly written/then unrecorded material & nightly improvisations at a level described by many eye-witnesses and observers as "the most intense" gigs they'd ever attended.<br/> <br/>A single live LP "USA" was issued in 1975, a year after the band split but failed to convey the full extent of how ferocious a beast King Crimson was in full-flight. No other band blended powerful rock with an ability to turn in epic improvisations of immense subtlety or strength.<br/> <br/>Many of the shows on this final tour had been recorded, either professionally to multi-track tape, or on the band's stereo cassette feed from the mixing desk. These remained unheard until 1992 when selected highlights were released in 1992 on the 4 CD boxed set, The Great Deceiver. <br/> <br/>Now The Road To Red offers a comprehensive overview of this final tour and at last does justice to a group who were operating at the very height of their powers.<br/> <br/>Every soundboard quality recording known to exist is presented with audio fully restored, all released on CD for the first time. There are also five complete concerts, drawn from multi-track recordings, alongside the restored audio bootleg of the band's final show from New York and a new stereo mix of "Red" by Robert Fripp and Steven Wilson undertaken in 2012.<br/> <br/>A total of 16 concerts are featured across 20 discs, with the studio "Red" as the 21st CD.
