Renaissance Project

Kheops is the pyramid the most enigmatic of all pharaonic constructions. How 45 centuries ago was it built ? For ten years, French architect Jean-Pierre Houdin has been carrying out the investigation and thanks to the new technologies, he has scrutinized the monument with the specialist sharp eye as if he had to rebuild it up himself.

In the wake of the Yardbirds’ demise, Jim McCarty and Keith Relf reconvened in the late 60s and devised a fresh musical concept that flourished within the creative spirit of new project Renaissance. Imaginative songs and ambitious arrangements blossomed with the assistance of singer Jane Relf, classically trained pianist John Hawken and virtuoso bassist Louis Cennamo. This important new multi-disc and DVD collection casts a spotlight on the evolutionary period of a now-legendary band. It is packed with fascinating, historic performances from their appearances on BBC radio and top German TV show Beat-Club, as well as rare demo’s, instrumentals, European radio broadcasts and a mini documentary. Painstakingly restored and remastered in conjunction with Louis Cennamo and Jim McCarty, this superb release includes extensive liner notes and memorabilia – an unmissable package for both collectors and Prog Rock devotees.
