Rafferty,Gerry Who Knows What The Day Will Bring: Complete CD

Two CD collection. Whether recording as a solo performer, a member of Stealers Wheel or as one-half of The Humblebums, the late Gerry Rafferty was always a master craftsman, leaving behind a dazzling portfolio of songs. Although early success eluded him, it was during his time with the nominally folk-oriented Transatlantic label that Gerry learnt his craft. As most fans will be only too aware, those early recordings have been repackaged on a regular basis over the last four decades or so with varying degrees of care and attention. What makes Who Knows What The Day Will Bring? different from the pack is that, for the first time, a full anthology of Gerry's early years is available under one roof. In addition to every album track, stray B-side and remixed single, we've added a cache of previously-unreleased songs and alternative versions taken from a bunch of multi-track masters that have been gathering dust in Transatlantic's archives for the last 50 years. With a host of hitherto-unheard songs and performances, the first-ever complete reissue of "Can I Have My Money Back?" (previous attempts have substituted an unauthorised overdubbed 'Mary Skeffington' in place of the original, far superior album version), Who Knows What The Day Will Bring? Is nothing less than a complete, unexpurgated document of Rafferty's adventures in the recording studio between 1969 and 1971, with all tracks taken from the master-tapes.
