The Complete Tucky Buzzard (5CD Clamshell Box Set)
released 15th July (c.£17)

Having come to the end of the psychedelic path, The End decided on a change of musical direction and a change of name, arising from theashes as Tucky Buzzard in 1970 and retaining the line-up of guitarist Terry Taylor, organist Nicky Graham, drummer Paul Francis, bassistDave Brown, and vocalist Jimmy Henderson.

• The first album, recorded with Madrid Philharmonic Orchestra directed by Waldo De Los Rios, contained some last vestiges of the band’sprevious existence. But the second album, produced by old associate Bill Wyman with Glyn Johns at Olympic Studios set out the band’stemplate of bluesy rock, a leading genre at the dawn of the 70s. Mick Taylor makes a guest appearance.

• For the fourth and fifth albums, the band was signed to Deep Purple’s own Purple Records. Bill Wyman continued in the producer’s chair,but the departing Nicky Graham was replaced with a second guitarist.

• The booklet features photos from the collection of Terry Taylor, Bill Wyman’s right hand man in the Rhythm Kings for the last 25 years,and extensive annotation by Alan Robinson.

Just noticed this blurb (from Spin Records) does not make any reference to the third album. Can anyone find confirmation this box has 5 CDs with 5 albums on them? It's priced as a 3xCD set, so I'm wondering if maybe there's 4 albums on two CDs plus a third disc for a stand alone album?
