Us3: Hand On The Torch (20th Anniversary Ed.)

Us3

Digitally remastered and expanded deluxe two CD edition, released to coincide with the album's 20th Anniversary. To celebrate the occasion, the album has been expanded to 27 tracks spread over two discs including remixes and non album tracks. The booklet also contains a new essay written by David Field and liner notes from former Blue Note Records President, Bruce Lundvall. Formed in 1992, Us3 is the brainchild of London-based producer Geoff Wilkinson. Alongside former production partner Mel Simpson, the duo created a worldwide sensation with their 1993 debut release. Hand On The Torch became Blue Note Records' first-ever platinum-certified album in the U.S., and the single "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)," featuring a sample of Herbie Hancock's 1964 song "Cantaloupe Island," reached the Billboard Hot 100's Top 10.
