Keaggy, Phil
What A Day
The early days of Jesus Music wouldn't have been the same without the remarkable presence of Phil Keaggy. While he was
already making waves in Christian-themed music with Glass Harp, it was his debut solo album, "What A Day," that truly
solidified his status as a beloved singer-songwriter and an unassuming guitar virtuoso within Christian music circles.
The album's significance in the realm of Christian rock and CCM is undeniable, placing it alongside other timeless
classics from the era.
Now, celebrating its 50th anniversary, the "What A Day" Deluxe Edition is a testament to the enduring magic of this
musical gem. Remastered by the original engineer and co-producer, Gary Hedden, Disc One presents the pristine original
album, letting listeners rediscover the soul-stirring fusion of acoustic and electric soft rock, where intricate chords
interweave with beautiful flowing melodies. But the enchantment doesn't stop there. Disc Two takes you behind the studio
curtains, unveiling 16 alternative mixes, outtakes, and instrumental versions meticulously crafted in 2023 from the
original multi-track recordings. These hidden treasures breathe fresh life into Keaggy's classic compositions.
As if that weren't enough, Disc Three offers a time capsule with 20 acoustic demos and outtakes from 1970-1972, recorded
on cassette tapes by Phil himself. This raw, unvarnished glimpse into the genesis of songs that would later become
cherished classics, along with those hidden gems, adds a new dimension to the album's history.
This limited Deluxe Edition also includes a 40-page booklet, offering a peek into the past with an abundance of
never-before-seen photographs from the original "What A Day" photo shoot by Bob Combs. The liner notes provide
invaluable insights from Phil himself, co-producer Gary Hedden, and project supervisor Tom Gulotta. Additionally,
acclaimed author and Chesterton biographer Kevin Belmonte shares a heartfelt essay. The entire collection is
thoughtfully presented in an 8-panel digipak, wrapped in a cardboard O-ring, reflecting Retroactive Records' commitment
to delivering the ultimate collector's experience.
The 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of "What A Day" is a fan's dream come true, a musical time capsule that encapsulates
Phil Keaggy's unparalleled artistry. Don't miss the chance to secure your copy of this extraordinary release, because
it's everything you could ever wish for in a single, comprehensive package.
