The first track is a rendition of “Need Your Love So Bad,” featuring a recently unearthed vocal recording by Green which was put to tape in his mother’s attic in the ‘60s.
Kirk Hammett features on the second song, a new version of Fleetwood Mac’s “Man of the World.” The Metallica guitarist recorded his parts at Abbey Road studios in January 2020, playing Green’s famous “Greeny” guitar.
“For the past four years Peter worked directly with Rufus Publications to produce a huge, illustrated visual book of his life and career,” the book’s publisher explained via statement.
The set also includes two vinyl singles, a CD of the new recordings, a t-shirt and a piece of hand drawn art by Green.
The deluxe edition will be limited to 500 copies and will feature the new songs on both vinyl and CD, a lithograph copy of Green’s art, a t-shirt and an autograph from Hammett.
Both Gilmour and Hammett took part in Mick Fleetwood & Friends Celebrate the Music of Peter Green and the Early Years of Fleetwood Mac, a star-studded concert event held in London on Feb.
