Al Stewart

Al Stewart's The Admiralty Lights: Complete Studio, Live, and Rare 1964-2009 spans five decades of the artist behind "Year of the Cat," "Time Passages," "Midnight Rocks," "Bedsitter Images," and "Nostradamus" via his complete released live and studio recordings and over 300 previously unreleased bonus tracks.

  • 18 CDs of live recordings;
  • 3 CDs of BBC Sessions from 1965-1972 (including a handful of cuts featuring Richard Thompson);
  • 8 CDs of Demos, Outtakes and Rarities from 1964-2008;
  • 160-page hardcover coffee table book featuring comprehensive liner notes by author Neville Judd, an in-depth interview with the artist, and rare memorabilia and ephemera;
  • 24-page softcover Collectors' Book detailing all the Rare Recordings in the set;
  • Year of the Cat print individually signed by artist Colin Elgie;
