About this product
Epitaph - History Box 2 The Polydor Years 1971-1972 - The first two albums from 1971 and 1972 - remastered by Roger Wahlmann (Cliffstudio) & as bonus tracks singles, demos and unreleased masterpieces - The story of Epitaph begins in the winter of 1969/70 at the then very popular Dortmund music club of the time, InchFantasioInch, where the band (James McGillivray, Bernd Kolbe and Cliff Jackson) rehearsed and worked their set while performing weekly at the club among greats like Black Sabbath, Rory Gallagher, Yes and Argent. Even at this time, Epitaph was showing it's full professionalism. Their big chance came when Champion Jack Dupree canceled his gig at Fantasio and renowned blues pianist Günter Boas stepped in with Epitaph as his backing band. - Producer Günter Boas recognized the potential of this band and it didn't take long for Epitaph to sign their first contract with Polydor, Then they moved to Hanover, shortened their band name from Fagin's Epitaph to Epitaph and started recording their first and eponymous self-titled album with Klaus Walz (later Jane) as second guitarist in London's Wessex Studio, which was released in the fall of 1971. Concerts throughout Germany followed, as well as an invitation from Radio Bremen's legendary TV show Beat-Club, which resulted in the first television appearance of Epitaph in 1972. Already in April 1972 the band was back in the studio to record InchStop Look And ListenInch (Polydor). Again, numerous appearances followed, among them the most important German festivals of that time. - Could the band have imagined that 50 years later they would still be one of the hottest bands in the country when they met for the first time in Dortmund's InchFantasioInch music club in the winter of 1969/70?

Epitaph - History Box 3 (The In-Akustik Years 2007-2014) Following the huge success of the previous box sets InchHistory Box 1 - The Brain Years 1979 - 1981Inch and InchHistory Box 2 - The Polydor Years 1971-1972,Inch the band is now turning it's attention to the period when it was signed to In-Akustik. Between 2007 and 2014, Epitaph released two studio albums (InchRemember The DazeInch and InchDancing With The GhostsInch) as well as the live album InchThe Acoustic SessionsInch on the Baden-Württemberg tag. As with it's predecessors, InchHistory Box 3Inch once again features plenty of bonus material. Epitaph broke up after their 1982 album InchDanger Man.Inch Although the two guitarists and founding members Cliff Jackson and Bernd Kolbe worked on new material, they released it in 1988 under the band name Kingdom. Around the turn of the millennium, Scorpions guitarist Rudi Schenker asked drummer Jim McGillivray why Epitaph wasn't continuing. - Spurred on by Schenker's interest in the band, Epitaph worked on a reunion. In January 2000, Cliff Jackson, Bernd Kolbe, Heinz Glass, and Achim Poret, the new drummer, gave a highly acclaimed concert at the sold-out Lindenbrauerei in Unna. After that, things slowly but steadily got back on track for Epitaph. In 2004, the band was invited to InchRockpalastInch by WDR for the third time. The band members used 2005 and 2006 to complete the material for their new studio album InchRemember The Daze.Inch To this day, the band continues to write German rock history, released their latest studio album in 2024, and is still constantly on tour - in keeping with their latest LP InchDon't Let The Grey Hair Fool You.Inch
