In mid-1979 the trio incarnation of spirit broke up and randy formed a new solo band and embarked on a european tour supporting Ian Gillan. After recording a series of demos further studio sessions produced the recordings which would form his solo album euro-american, released in 1982 (and included in this set). The original boxed set of the euro american years was compiled by spirit archivist mick skidmore and was issued in 2006. The original concept for this box (which sold out very quickly in its first pressing, only to be consistently bootlegged in various countries via downloads and separate cdr discs for which the artists received no compensation) was to pull together the vast amount of music that randy released during 1979-1983 period (although some tracks were recorded earlier and were shelved due to lack of a record deal).
Due to demand from fans, Mick Skidmore has recovered from the archives an additional two cds worth of previously unreleased material, namely a live concert by spirit recorded in greensboro, north carolina in april 1981 before a wildly exuberant audience, along with the randy california band’s entire set at reading festival in 1982 and a part of the band’s set at glastonbury festival from the same year.

Thank you !
Thanks for sharing! I have the actual CD's, but will be nice having these in digital format too. Similar to the comment above, I was unable to download via the first link, but the Mega links worked without any issues.
Loads of thanks for sharing this set. Randy's solo work was often erratic, but always interesting. The period represented in this collection will be new to me as I was never aware of any official releases during this time until I stumbled across your post. Thanks again.
