  • King Crimson and Asia Legend John Wetton Releases "Live Via Satellite"

    For Immediate Release

    King Crimson and Asia Legend John Wetton Releases "Live Via Satellite" OUT NOW!

    London, UK - JOHN WETTON is the lead singer of ASIA, UK and the "Red" era of KING CRIMSON, with an extensive solo catalogue, which now includes "Live via Satellite"

    This 2 CD set collects together both of John Wetton's acoustic solo concerts for radio broadcasts. The XM radio broadcast was only available for sale via his website over 10 years ago and has never had a commercial release.

    The Swedish radio broadcast (previously unreleased) was thought lost in a fire, until a duplicate of the master tapes was found thanks to a long and tireless search by John Wetton's fans.

    Of the release, John Wetton said: "Both of these shows are from the same time period, but come from very different sources. The first, a Circus tent-like venue in a funfair in Stockholm: the second, a state-of-the-art facility in Washington DC, so the
    repertoire is similar, but venues could not be more different. Recording production is superb on both, it's a document of a slice of my life."

    As a lead singer, bassist and songwriter, John Wetton initially rose to fame with King Crimson and after that Wetton co-founded UK. In the early 1980s he was the frontman of the super-group Asia, his biggest commercial success. ASIA's self-titled debut
    album was the biggest selling album in the world in 1982 and the band continues to this day.

    He later formed the duo Icon with Geoff Downes (YES and The Buggles) and has had a successful solo career releasing a large number of studio and live albums, including the recent compilation The Studio Recordings Anthology.

    John Wetton's "Live via Satellite" will be released 9th October 2015 and is part of the ongoing release schedule of his own Primary Purpose label, working via Cherry Red.
