A half-century after the Steve Miller Band’s first two Capitol Records albums were released, Miller and Capitol/UMe have announced the May 18 release of the group’s first nine studio albums in a new 180-gram vinyl boxed set collection called Complete Albums Volume 1 (1968-1976). Spanning the band’s first studio album, Children of the Future, through 1976’s Fly Like an Eagle, the albums have all been remastered and are available now for preorder. Each album is also available for preorder as individual 180-gram black LPs to be released on the same date, as well as limited edition 180-gram color vinyl LPs for sale exclusively via uDiscoverMusic.
The Steve Miller Band’s first nine studio albums have also been newly remastered for HD digital audio (96kHz/24-bit). Starting with the global release of Children of the Future, the albums’ HD digital audio debuts will continue weekly in chronological order ahead of the Complete Albums Volume 1 vinyl release.
