Released 25th April, 2025.
Esoteric Recordings is proud to announce the release of a newly remastered and expanded 2CD edition of Sail The World, the evocative 1994 album by celebrated composer and guitarist Anthony Phillips.
Originally composed and recorded for the UK television coverage of the Whitbread Around the World Yacht Race, Sail The World became a fan favourite, capturing the vast, cinematic beauty of the open seas.
Now in this definitive edition, Sail The World has been newly remastered and expanded into a 2CD set, featuring an entire second disc with 15 rare and previously unreleased bonus tracks, including additional material and alternate mixes, featuring collaborations with Joji Hirota and Martin Robertson.
