Third Eye

A 34-track Expanded Deluxe 2CD version of Monsoon’s ground breaking Third Eye album that was originally released in 1982. Featuring the original 10-track album plus a comprehensive selection of bonus tracks including B-Sides, remixes, edits and instrumental versions. Also included are six previously unreleased tracks including the four songs that the band recorded for a Capital Radio Session in 1982. With a fully illustrated 32-page CD booklet featuring a brand new Q&A with Sheila Chandra. Monsoon led by singer Sheila Chandra (best known for her role in the BBC’S Grange Hill) along with record producer Steve Coe and bass guitarist Martin Smith was a brave and pioneering pop trio that blended traditional music from the Indian sub-continent with 80s British pop. The band originated in 1980 when keyboard player and producer Steve Coe developed an interest in Indian music. Hoping to form a band to pursue this direction, he discovered Sheila via some demo tapes
