| | Description: | Four CD collection containing every album and single track recorded by the legendary Atomic Rooster between 1970 - 1974. Sleeping for Years is a clamshell boxed set anthologizing all the recordings made by the band on the classic albums Atomic Rooster, Death Walks Behind You, In Hearing of Atomic Rooster, Made In England and Nice n' Greasy and on such hit singles as 'Tomorrow Night' and 'Devil's Answer'. Atomic Rooster was formed by former Crazy World of Arthur Brown members Vincent Crane (organ, piano, keyboards) and Carl Palmer (drums). Their self-titled first album was recorded in 1970 with Nick Graham on bass, vocals and flute, but the band soon splintered when Carl Palmer departed to join ELP. In his place came Paul Hammond on drums and guitarist and vocalist John Du Cann. This line-up recorded the successful hit singles 'Tomorrow Night' and 'Devil's Answer' and the album Death Walks Behind You in 1971. Later that year vocalist Pete French was added to the line-up for the classic album In Hearing of Atomic Rooster. With the departure of John Du Cann and Paul Hammond came new guitarist Steve Bolton and drummer Ric Parnell. For 1972's Made in England, Chris Farlowe replaced French on vocals. The band's final album of the 1970s, Nice n' Greasy, featured guitarist John Goodsall under the pseudonym of Johnny Mandala. The final release of the 1970s by the band was the single 'Tell Your Story (Sing Your Song)'. Covering every track released by the band in the 1970s, Sleeping For Years is a newly re-mastered collection and also features six rare alternate versions and demos. The set includes an illustrated booklet with a new essay by Malcolm Dome featuring exclusive interviews with Nick Graham, Pete French, Steve Bolton and Chris Farlowe.Clamshell box with 4 CD card sleeves and 32-page booklet.

4-11 to 4-12 A & B-sides of single released in March 1974: [m345607]."Sleeping for Years ~ the Studio Recordings 1970-19" on CD is an extensive anthology of Atomic Rooster's formative studio work, gathering key recordings from the band's crucial early years. Across multiple discs, listeners can trace the evolution from heavy, organ-driven proto-metal and progressive rock to darker, more groove-oriented material, all powered by powerful riffs, dramatic Hammond organ lines and a brooding atmosphere. This collection is ideal for those who want a deep dive rather than a simple "best of": album cuts, important single versions and lesser-known tracks are sequenced to highlight the band's stylistic breadth and creative development. The remastered sound (where provided in this Cherry Red edition) aims to offer clarity and punch while preserving the raw power of the original tapes, making these classic recordings feel immediate and alive again for both longtime fans and new listeners.
Atomic Rooster were a pioneering British rock band formed around keyboardist and main composer Vincent Crane, known for their distinctive mix of heavy rock, progressive elements and soul-inflected vocals. Emerging at the turn of the 1970s, they helped shape early hard rock with organ-led riffs and dark, intense songwriting. The band achieved notable success on the UK charts with tracks such as "Tomorrow Night" and "Devil's Answer," which became staples of early 70s heavy rock. Over the years, Atomic Rooster gained a cult following; their records are frequently cited by fans of proto-metal, progressive rock and classic heavy rock as influential deep cuts from the era.
Cherry Red Records is a long-established independent label from the UK, renowned for its careful catalogue work and archival reissues in rock, punk, new wave, progressive and many other genres. The company has built a strong reputation for well-researched compilations, extensive booklet notes and attentive remastering where possible, making their editions especially attractive to collectors and genre enthusiasts. With "Sleeping for Years ~ the Studio Recordings 1970-19," Cherry Red continues its tradition of presenting classic material in a curated, fan-friendly form, designed both as an entry point for newcomers and a comprehensive overview for devoted listeners who want key studio material collected in one place. | | | No. of tracks: |
