Restored original album artwork

Originally released in March 1978, A Song For All Seasons featured the song "Northern Lights," a Top 10 hit single in the U.K. and Europe, and was a successful hit album in the U.K., USA and Canada. By the late 1970s the lineup of highly gifted vocalist Annie Haslam, Michael Dunford (acoustic and electric guitars), John Tout (keyboards, vocals), Jon Camp (bass, acoustic & electric guitars, vocals) and Terry Sullivan (drums, percussion) had recorded a series of acclaimed albums that fused classical music influences with progressive rock and had earned a loyal following in Europe and had enjoyed wider success in the United States and Japan.

Working with producer David Hentschel (who had also produced the albums A Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering for Genesis), the material on A Song for All Seasons was some of the most carefully crafted work of the band's career. Flying in the face of the prevailing musical fashions of the time, A Song for All Seasons would be the band's most successful album in Europe and is one of their best-loved works.
