The four-disc box set Dear Mr. Fantasy digs deep into Jim Capaldi?s legacy, providing a thorough overview of the musician best known as Steve Winwood?s sparring partner in Traffic. Appropriately, there is a hefty chunk of Traffic here along with a good sampling of his solo albums, plus a fair number of rarities ranging from his first group the Hellions to the pre-Traffic bands Revolution and Deep Feeling and a previously unreleased collaboration with George Harrison called ?Love?s Got a Hold of Me.? It?s a generous set that will satisfy the devoted while providing several surprises to those who have looked no deeper than Traffic but were always curious about what else Capaldi had to offer. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine € 38.99
