Pendragon
The First 40 years....
The first pressing of the "First 40 years" literally flew out of the door, we were sold out at HQ within 2 days of them arriving!
We've pressed the button on a second pressing and you can now pre-order the 2nd pressing from The Merch Desk they are due to arrive at HQ the first week in November.
Here's what people have been saying about it on the Pendragon Fans FB Page - (real people just like you, not journalists, not CD dealers, just regular Pendragon fans)
"Without doubt, the best £65 I’ve spent, in one go, on music" Roger - UK
"the photographs in this book conjure up 1001 memories from a lifetime of following Pendragon, all of which are amplified by the fantastic music - you're reliving every moment again and again" Stacy - UK
"Superlative!! Best$95 usd spent on music in a long time and shipping was super fast to the USA" Tomas - USA
"One of the most beautiful audio and visual treats a band has ever put together" Eddo - NL
"Worth every penny/euro. The world was my favourite band album and the new mix is increible. The concert recaptures the history of the band in its best shape." Alvaro - ES
"Excellent live set and an interesting take on the two studio albums, fantastic value for money even before you factor in the packaging!" Mike - UK

Here's a reminder of what it includes....
Approximately 11inch square (just slightly smaller than a vinyl sleeve) this 32 page hard back book is truly a celebration of Pendragon from 1978 to the current day. Cover artwork from Simon Williams (The World/Window of Life/Masquerade Overture etc) incorporating images throughout the history of the band in his very own recognisable style, inside there is 32 glossy pages of photo memories throughout the years, a few words from Nick, Peter, Clive and Vinnie and of course 5 CDs.
The discs are -
Live at London -
3 discs from last November's sold out 40th Anniversary show at 229 The Venue. The London show featured a return to the Pendragon drum stool for Nigel Harris to perform some of the early songs plus some saxophone from original and co-founding member Julian Baker When mixing the live discs Karl Groom (Thin Ice Studio) said that this is one of the best recorded live gig atmospheres he's ever heard, and we think you'll agree that's it's really very special indeed.
