Blackmore’s Night Set To Celebrate 20th Anniversary with Double Disc C

Blackmore’s Night will release a new double-disc compilation to coincide with their 20^th anniversary.

‘To The Moon and Back: 20 Years and Beyond’ will be released on August 11^th and will feature a mix of previously released material, re-recordings plus new material.

New songs to feature on the 20^th anniversary record come in the form of ‘Ghost Of John,’ which features the vocals of Richie’s 6 year old daughter, Autumn Blackmore, plus a reworking of ‘Pomp And Circumstance March No.1’ and a cover of Rainbow’s ‘I Surrender.’

There’s also re-recorded versions of ‘Moonlight Shadow,’ ‘Somewhere Over The Sea,’ ‘Coming Home,’ and ‘Writing On The Wall’ alongside Blackmore’s Night classic including ‘Shadow Of The Moon,’ ‘Ghost Of A Rose,’ and ‘Under A Violet Moon’ as well as a new live version of ‘Home Again.’

The special edition release also comes with a ‘collectors’ booklet made up of cuttings of live band photos, back stage passes and tour flyers. A behind-the-scenes bonus video of the band is also included.

On the release, Blackmore’s Night founders, husband and wife duo, Richie and Candice said;

"We hope you enjoy this musical journey down memory lane from 'Shadow Of The Moon'… our first release… through our brand new 2017 versions of old favorites and a new surprise song. 20 years of memorable music and beyond...”
