Winger Announce 'Chapter One: Atlantic Years 1988-1993' Box Set

09-21-2023

(Chipster) One of the most-aired hard rock bands on MTV during the late '80s and early '90s was Winger, a band who had it all - expert chops, chart success, arena tours, etc. And now for the first time ever, the band's best-selling albums will be compiled together in the new box set, Chapter One: Atlantic Years 1988-1993 - which will be released on November 17, 2023 via Atlantic/BMG, and will be available as both vinyl and CD versions. Preorder here.

Included will be the band's self-titled debut from 1988 (which spawned the hits "Madalaine," "Seventeen," and "Headed or a Heartbreak"), In the Heart of the Young from 1990 (which gave us "I Can't Get Enuff," "Miles Away," and "Easy Come Easy Go"), and Pull from 1993 (which contained "Down Incognito").

And long-time fans of the band - whose classic line-up was comprised of singer/bassist Kip Winger, guitarists Reb Beach and Paul Taylor, and drummer Rod Morgenstein - will probably be most intrigued by the inclusion of the fourth disc, Demo Anthology, which includes original demo versions of Winger's biggest hits. Additionally, the set will be newly remastered by Ted Jensen - with the remaster process overseen by Kip Winger.

"I'm very proud of this box set. It captures an unforgettable era for the band and these are the only remasters I officially endorse." - Kip Winger

Still rocking to this day - the band issued their seventh studio effort overall in 2023, the appropriately titled Seven. Kip Winger is also a respected and successful symphonic composer, having issued recordings under the name C.F. Kip Winger, while Reb Beach has been a member of Whitesnake since 2002, and Rod Morgenstein has served as a professor at Berklee College of Music (in addition to playing in a variety of other more jazz-fusion-based projects).

To obtain all of Winger's definitive LP's in one fell swoop, Chapter One: Atlantic Years 1988-1993 covers all the bases - and then some!
