Friends Arrival - Complete Recordings 1969-1973 3 CD Box Set

    Description

    Arrival – Complete Recordings 1969–1973 is a 3×CD anthology collecting every officially released studio track, single, B‑side, and surviving BBC session from the British vocal harmony group Arrival, active between 1969 and 1973. It compiles both of their original albums—one for Decca (1970) and one for CBS (1972)—plus a full disc of BBC recordings, many of which were previously unavailable or scattered across archives.

    This set is issued by Cherry Red / Strawberry Records (2022) under catalogue number CRJAM006T, and is aimed squarely at collectors who appreciate early‑70s pop‑soul, rich vocal arrangements, and historically complete archival editions.

    Arrival – Complete Recordings 1969–1973 presents the definitive archive of the group’s output, remastered and organised chronologically across three discs:

    • CD1: The 1970 Arrival album (Decca SKL 5055) plus five non‑album singles and B‑sides.

    • CD2: The 1972 Arrival album (CBS 64733) plus five bonus tracks including soundtrack work and later singles.

    • CD3: A curated set of BBC session recordings, capturing the band’s live‑in‑studio harmonies and alternate versions.

    The set includes:

    • Newly remastered audio

    • Original album artwork reproduced

    • Full recording notes and licensing details in the booklet

    • Tracks sourced from Decca, CBS, and BBC archives

    This is the most complete Arrival collection ever issued, covering their entire professional output from 1969–1973.
