Band's 2 albums to included with bonus material in I'll Remember package

The two studio albums recorded by Rory Gallagher’s band Taste will be included in a four-disc set to be released next month.

Taste I’ll Remember is out on August 28 via Polydor, featuring remastered versions of both their self-titled 1969 debut and the 1970 follow-up On The Boards.

Bonus tracks, demos, extensive sleeve notes and rare photographs are also included, along with previously unreleased live concert recordings from performances at Stockholm’s Konserthuset, the BBC and Woburn Abbey Festival.

Taste helped launch Gallagher’s career as one of the most respected guitarists of his era. They disbanded after a farewell show in Belfast on New Year’s Eve 1970, and Gallagher went on to sell over 30 million albums worldwide as a solo artist.

He died in 1995 from complications related to a liver transplant.
