Third Ear Band: Music From Macbeth, Remastered & Expanded Edition

NEW RE-MASTERED & EXPANDED RELEASE OF THE CLASSIC 1972 SOUNDTRACK ALBUM BY THIRD EAR BAND TO ROMAN POLANSKI’s FILM

WITH FOUR PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED BONUS TRACKS

FULLY RESTORED ARTWORK AND LINER NOTES

Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce the release of a new re-mastered and expanded edition of the classic 1972 soundtrack album to Roman Polanski’s gritty film of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth”.

Originally released on EMI’s Harvest label in March 1972, the album featured a new line-up of Third Ear Band featuring Paul Minns (oboe and recorder), Glen Sweeney (drums), Paul Buckmaster (cello and bass guitar), Simon House (violin and VCS 3 synthesiser) and Demin Bridges (guitars).

The darkly evocative and eerie music of Third Ear Band fitted perfectly with Roman Polanski’s cinematic vision of the acclaimed Shakespearian drama starring Jon Finch, Francesca Annis and Martin Shaw.
