The Stratocaster Sage: Robin Trower’s ‘Twice Removed From Yesterday’ (CHR 1039)
Today’s entry features the debut solo statement from one of the most expressive guitarists in rock history. We are looking at a 1977 UK reissue of Twice Removed From Yesterday by Robin Trower, released on Chrysalis with the catalog number CHR 1039.
A Blues-Rock Landmark
Originally released in 1973 after Trower left Procol Harum, this album established his signature power trio sound. Produced by his former bandmate Matthew Fisher, the record is a masterclass in atmospheric blues-rock, drawing heavy inspiration from Hendrix while carving out its own distinct space. The chemistry between Trower’s thick, swirling Stratocaster tones and James Dewar’s smoky, soulful vocals is undeniable. The tracklist includes the slow-burning masterpiece “Daydream,” the heavy groove of “I Can’t Wait Much Longer,” and a spirited cover of B.B. King’s “Rock Me Baby.”
Format and Pressing
This specific copy is a UK reissue released in 1977.
Manufacturing Details
The pressing details reveal classic British manufacturing quality. The cover was printed by Robor Ltd., a common printer for high-quality sleeves of the era. The runout grooves contain the initials “EG,” indicating that the plating was handled by the cutting engineer at EMI Records, ensuring that the deep, resonant bass and guitar tones are faithfully preserved on the vinyl.
