VA Music by The Sea (2023)

Music by the Sea is a various artists' classical compilation album. Released in September 1, 2023.

A new 4cd remastered clamshell boxed set celebrating the finest musical sounds of so-called progressive rock music of 1973.
Five hours of music featuring tracks by kevin ayers, edgar broughton band, budgie, camel, caravan, curved air, electric light orchestra, emerson lake & palmer, family, gong, greenslade, hawkwind, help yourself, manfred mann’s earthband, nektar, pfm, pink fairies, procol harum, nektar, anthony phillips, rare bird, renaissance, al stewart, traffic, darryl way’s wolf, yes & many more. The next release in the series of compilations celebrating so-called “Progressive” rock music concentrating on 1973, another year in which Progressive music in all its forms would continue to be a dominating force with the album buying public. Much of this music appeared on the “progressive” imprints of major record labels such as EMI’s Harvest, Decca’s Deram and Philips Records’ Vertigo and the emerging independent labels such as Charisma, United Artists and Island Records and led to an increasing presence of underground album music on BBC Radio One on its Sounds Of The Seventies and Top Gear programmes and on television on the iconic series The Old Grey Whistle Test.

Celebrating two decades of IF Music's scrupulous curation through its record shop, a thriving website, album reissues and compilations in collaboration with BBE Music, parties and radio shows, “IF Music Presents You Need This: 20 years” is a 9 track, double vinyl LP beautifully put together by Jean-Claude.
