Meal Ticket Meal Ticket: Albums CD

Three CD set. Often referred to as the UK's answer to The Band or The Eagles, Meal Ticket were a formidable force on the booming pub rock circuit of the mid 70's. This set features each of their albums - Code Of The Road, Three Times A Day and Take Away - two of which have not previously been issued on CD. Two rare live B-sides have been added which, along with singles such as 'Simple', 'Yesterday's Music', 'The Shape I'm In' and 'Blame', give a complete round up of all of the band's released material for EMI International and Logo Records. Michael Heatley, editor of History Of Rock and long-time champion of Meal Ticket, has provided insightful sleeve notes in conjunction with the band. As well as the three albums in replica card wallets the box also contains a 20 page booklet. Mastered from the original tape source by James Bragg.
