Yesterday saw the release of a very fine career overview of Steve Winwood titled “Revolutions – The Best of Steve Winwood.” The release is available as a four-disc deluxe box set, complete with a 52-page booklet, or as a single disc for the more casual fan.

Both the single disc and four-disc versions contain a re-recording of “Spanish Dancer” mixed by Grammy Award-winning New York producer and recording artist Ben Wisch. The original appeared on Winwood’s 1980 solo album “Arc Of A Diver.”

Winwood personally selected the tracks on “Revolutions – The Very Best of Steve Winwood.” There are solo songs, as well as songs from his time with the Spencer Davis Group, Traffic and Blind Faith.

Tracklist (single CD)

• Gimme Some Lovin
• I’m A Man
• Forty Thousand Headmen
• No Face No Name No Number
• Dear Mr Fantasy
• Low Spark Of The High Heeled Boys

• Valerie
• Spanish Dancer

It seems like an oversight to omit “Keep on Running” from the single disc, but it is available on the four-disc set.
