The American folk rock group Blackmore’s Night celebrates 25 years of band existence. To mark the occasion, 78-year-old Ritchie Blackmore (founding member/guitarist of Deep Purple) and his wife Candice Night have released the 25th Anniversary Edition of their debut album, Shadow Of The Moon.
The record of the six-piece medieval and renaissance group was remixed for this. It includes two bonus tracks (“Spirit Of The Sea” and “Shadow Of The Moon”), revised artwork and Candice Night’s scrapbook, in which she reviews the band’s 25th anniversary. In addition to the limited CD and LP edition, fans will receive the documentary “The Story Of ‘Shadow Of The Moon'” as a video bonus on DVD.
Here is the lyric video for “Shadow Of The Moon”:
