Features two full CDs of previously unreleased demos!

Drum legend Simon Phillips will be releasing a 6-CD box set on April 12th on Phantom
Recordings. This truly deluxe set celebrates the 30th Anniversary of Protocol, the
powerhouse jazz-rock vehicle for the music of legendary drummer Simon Phillips (
Jeff Beck, Toto, The Who, Mike Oldfield, Hiromi). Included are all of the previous
Protocol releases (I, II, III & IV), re-mastered for an even better sonic experience.
Plus two full CDs of previously unreleased demos, with the embryonic tunes that 
would later become finished material for the Protocol II, III & IValbums. Protocol
4, included, was nominated for a Grammy in 2018 for Best Contemporary Instrumental
Recording.

Phillips himself composed the liner notes of a glorious 24-page booklet with historic
photos, providing deep insight into the genesis of the band, the tunes and recording
processes. An absolute must-have collector’s item for Simon’s devotees worldwide!
