Reissues

Gerry Rafferty was a Scottish guitarist, singer, and songwriter known for his solo hits "Baker Street" and "Right Down the Line", as well as his work with the band Stealers Wheel on "Stuck in the Middle with You". Born into a working-class family in Paisley, Scotland, Rafferty's musical upbringing included Irish and Scottish folk songs taught by his mother. Influenced by The Beatles and Bob Dylan, he joined the folk-pop band The Humblebums before pursuing a successful solo career. His album "City to City" featured the iconic song "Baker Street".
Born on April 16th, 1947 in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland, Gerry Rafferty sadly passed away at age 63 on January 4th, 2011 due to liver and kidney problems at his daughter's home in Stroud, Gloucestershire, England.
Rafferty's musical legacy continues to resonate with fans worldwide through his timeless songs that showcase his exceptional talent as a musician.

Originally released in 1978, City To City was Gerry Rafferty’s second solo album and first release since his departure from Stealers Wheel. The album was a worldwide top 10 hit across the globe, including #1 in the US, going platinum in the process. For this double vinyl release, City to City has been newly remastered at half-speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios, a method used to improve audio quality. The album is masterclass in songwriting, production and musicianship, featuring arguably the most famous saxophone riff of all time with Baker Street, as well as the understated love song, the recent viral hit Right Down The Line.
