CD & Bonus DVD of the 2nd album in a series of 2014/15 Remastered reissues of the entire catalogue by this legendary Instrumental Classical Rock band!

This Deluxe Double Disc Edition of ‘Sky 2’ has been Newly Remastered and is part of the 1st batch of the continuing series of reissues of the entire SKY catalogue.

Formed in 1979, SKY brought together the worlds of rock and classical music in a highly successful and inspiring way. Featuring the gifted talents of guitarist John Williams, percussionist Tristan Fry, legendary bass player Herbie Flowers, former CURVED AIR keyboard player Francis Monkman and guitarist Kevin Peek, SKY recorded their debut album at Abbey Road studios in the early months of 1979.
That self-titled release debut reached the UK top ten in May 1979 and went on to achieve Platinum status in the UK, and was also a major hit in Europe and Australia.

Also a huge ‘live’ attraction, SKY released this, their 2nd album (a double vinyl LP), in April 1980.
‘Sky 2’ was a fine achievement, featuring the classic tracks: ‘Hotta’, ‘Sahara’, ‘Vivaldi’ (a re-working of the piece made famous by CURVED AIR), the epic side-long: ‘Fifo’ and the hit single: ‘Toccata’ and topped the UK album charts upon its release, becoming SKY’s most commercially successful album.
The second disc in this Double Disc package is a DVD (NTSC / Region Free) featuring all of SKY’s surviving BBC TV appearances in 1980, all previously unreleased on video or DVD – namely the highlight’s of SKY’s concert at Hammersmith Odeon in 1980, as broadcast by the BBC on ‘Rhythm On Two’, and SKY’s performance of: ‘Toccata’ on 'Top Of The Pops' in April 1980.

The Original Album Artwork is Fully Restored and the Booklet features a New Essay.
