For the early progressive fans, the name of Pete Hammill is no look up exercise. Still attached to the impressive works of Van der Graaf Generator, and still pursuing what is now a storied and legendary solo career, Pete Hammill has impressively released over fifty full length albums, thirteen of which are with Van der Graaf Generator. It’s easy to say that Pete Hammill’s name is as recognized as the recognition of Van der Graaf Generator, if not even more so.
On March 29, there will be an 8CD Box of live material from Pete Hammill that will cover the songs from his richly padded career of music. During his last tour, Hammill made it a priority to explore his full career of songs by playing a collection of over 100 songs in live settings from November 2017 through May 2018. The results are being collated into this new box being called Not Yet, Not Now.
This new boxed set will feature 98 songs. Each CD of this 8CD box will represent an hour’s worth of performance music. A 28-page booklet will be packed in that will explore those tour dates with plenty of photos and notes.
Not Yet, Not Now will be offered as a limited set. When they’re gone, they’re gone.
