Christie was a relatively unknown band from England that had the hit song "Yellow River" in 1970. No relation to the '60s American pop idol Lou Christie, this band managed to release one obscure album in North America on the Epic label in the same year. This collection represents the reissue of that album in its entirety along with detailed liner notes about the band.

CHRISTIE shot to fame in the early 70′s with a number 1 Hit single in no less than 26 countries (it also made Billboard Top 30 in USA) “Yellow River”. Written by band leader JEFF CHRISTIE who was awarded the prestigious IVOR NOVELLO and CARL ALLAN awards for this classic song. Jeff has had his songs recorded by REM to LEAPY LEE to QUICKSILVER. Further Hit singles followed around the world “San Bernadino” and “Iron Horse”. The bands debut album spent 10 weeks in the US charts. The band became known as England’s answer to Creedence Clearwater Revival. Jeff has been back in the studio reviewing his masters and all the tracks on this 2CD set were recorded in the 1970′s by Christie during a particularly prolific period in their career. Christie continues today to perform all over the world and has a particular strong fan base in Europe and South America where the band performs sold out concerts each year. THIS much-anticipated set was released in 2012 and contains 40 of Jeff's unreleased songs from the 70s. While most of them feature Jeff alone in the studio, there are several which were recorded by the band as demos and possible single or album releases.
