Bill Wyman / White Lightnin': The Solo box / 4CD+DVD set

Edsel Records will next month release a box set collecting the solo work of Bill Wyman.

White Lightnin’: The Solo Box contains all four of his studio albums including Monkey Grip and Stone Alone from the mid seventies, his eponymous third album from 1982 (which featured his only UK hit single ((Si Si) Je Suis Un Rock Star), and the Japan-only Stuff (issued in 1992).

The box also boasts 24 bonus tracks (four previously unreleased), and a DVD with promo videos, TV clips from the BBC archives and a brand new interview with Wyman himself. A 40 page booklet contains credits, lyrics and notes by David Wells. This is a decent amount of content for Wyman fans, when you consider that this clocks in at under £17 in the UK.

White Lightnin’ : The Solo Box is release on 15 June 2015
