Bridge of Sighs [Remaster] by Robin Trower (CD, Aug-1999, Chrysalis Records USA)

trower and band's best effort! tight,soulful, and moving. classic tracks like this deserve a high place in anyone's music collection.

This is one of Robin Trower's best albumbs and the music on it captures the spirit of the time period in which it was released. My only disappointment was the Bonus Tracks, all of which were live recordings; in my opinion more often than not, such live recordings just don't measure up to the studio performances.
This CD was brand new/shrink wrapped just as advertised, and all in all, I was very pleased with it.

great cd,the remaster was awsome compared to my original, forgot how great it sounds. The only crazy thing was the cd was not factory sealed but is a factory reprint. no harm no fowl, it was spotless and clean.

Robin Trower's playing on this album is superb! "Too Rolling Stone" is really the highlight of this album as well as "Bridge of Sighs" sell this album to me as a great fan of the Fender Stratocaster guitar!! This album is well worth the money and I highly recommend it!

Purchased new and un-opened, this 'expanded' CD has both studio and live cuts. Trower has no issue in saying who his influence was, and shows a masterful "Hendix Hand" in his music. It's heavy-toned, rocky, but the shimmering bells at the beginning of "Bridge of Sighs" are chilly falling raindrops. Dewar's vocals are bluesy and breathy, have punch and are alike to that of Clapton's vocalist, Jack Bruce. A major album, somewhat cult, but a must for every Guitar riff afficionado.

ROBIN TROWER WAS ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENCIAL "GUITAR GODS " OF THE 1970'S. GOING THROUGH MY ALBUMS RECENTLY I REDISCOVERED THIS GEM AND DECIDED TO FIND THE CD. THIS COMPILATION FEATURES NOT ONLY THE ORIGINAL TRACKS BUT HAS ADDED LIVE VERSIONS. IF YOU LOVE HEAVY METAL THAT FEATURES MELODIC GUITAR RIFFS AND A VOCALIST THAT CAN ACTUALLY SING THIS IS A "MUST HAVE" ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION. GREG WELLS

The CD I found on Ebay cannot be found in local music stores. This reminder of my youth was a new remastered version of the album I loved many years ago, with live tracks added. I am glad that I bought it.

I like this edition a lot because of two main reasons: 1) It's the original album remastered with high quality standards 2) The live bonus tracks included are songs from the same album. I don't those silly editions that include songs from 10 years before or after the album was recorded ! Here is a good example, you have the chance to listen to the album with an outstanding sound for it's age and great versions of some of the songs of the album played live. The press and artwork is not awesome but it's serious and fills my expectations. GOOD RELEASE, unfortunately other album of the same artist have not been released in a similar way, i.e. LIVE and/or TWICE REMOVED FROM YESTERDAY.
Hope usefull. Great item !

Robin Trower was often considered a Jimi Hendrix copycat, but if you listen to what he's doing, the sound is similar, the licks aren't. He's not the guitarist that Hendrix was, but the combination of his "more than adequate" technical skill, his sense of effect, and Dewar's voice gives a really terrific, if somewhat dated at this point, sense of energy and excitement. He's not perfect, and some of his solos lose a bit of coherency, but most of the songs on this album are a thrill for those of us of a "certain age" that remember how powerful this music was when it first came out. If you're in your middle ages or someone who appreciates a unique period of music, you should enjoy this one. Unless, of course, you're a big Four Seasons fan :^)

5/5 for the original recording, but if any of you are considering buying this for the extra tracks, please consider as they are not worth it.

The title cut is the only one that's halfway interesting on this CD. Not worth buying unless you can find a cheap, used copy. Save your cash (you're gonna need it). LS

This CD was exactly as described, the customer service was superb, Shipping was fast and the communication was a breath of fresh air. These guys rock!
Will definately come back!

I have purchased most of my music from half.com, and like it. Unfortunately, there are a few sellers that shouldn't be allowed to do business on ebay.

I have always liked Robin Trower's awesome guitar playing and this CD has the best of his music. I have this album on vinyl, but I bought this CD so that I can listen to it while driving in the car.
