‘THE BEST of BILL BRUFORD: The Winterfold & Summerfold Years’ is a 35-track, 3CD box set re-issue of two long out of print albums that together cull the best of drummercomposer-bandleader Bruford’s recordings for the two labels.
The package has been entirely re-designed by Bruford’s long-standing associate designerphotographer Dave McKean, for release on Summerfold records.
The production was overseen personally by Bill Bruford.
