RIK EMMETT – Absolutely [Enhanced Audio Reissue] *EXCLUSIVE*

One of you asked which version / release of Triumph’s RIK EMMETT first solo album “Absolutely” sounds better. You know, “Absolutely” never has been remastered and indeed it needs a sonic treatment because all the CD pressings sound really flat. But… we found that “Absolutely” has been reissued in the past decade, and it may be thanks to newer transfer technology, this version sounds terrific, fuller.
This original release of “Absolutely” by Duke Street Records has different catalog numbers depending the country of release such as DSMD-31068, DSRD-31068, etc.
This Canadian CD reissue (no date specified into the booklet / back cover) sports the DSBBD-31068. This is the one to get if you plan to purchase this very good album.

RIK EMMETT – Then Again… Acoustic Selections from the Triumph Catalogue (Out Of Print)

Now this is a very special post; “RIK EMMETT – Then Again… Acoustic Selections from the Triumph Catalogue“, a disc released some time ago, but now out of print. It was requested many times at 0dayrox but we were not able to put our hands on it… until now.
Since 2006 Emmett formed a duo with guitarist Dave Dunlop. Precisely with the help of Dunlop on guitar, backing vocals and production, in 2012 Rik Emmett decided to bump into his past band once again… but in a very different way.
“Then Again… Acoustic Selections from the Triumph Catalogue” brings Triumph oldies but goodies back to life in refreshing new arrangements of these timeless classics…
