Ring the Bells and Sing - Progressive Sounds of 1975 is a 4CD box set collecting over five hours of music.
 
Sometimes dismissed as a time when rock music was failing to move forward, this compilation reveals that 1975 was a year of unparalleled excellence, diversity and growth for Progressive artists.
 
Including well-known and obscure offerings, Ring The Bells and Sing features BJH, Be Bop Deluxe, Camel, Caravan, Steve Hackett, Gentle Giant, Fruup, Peter Hammill / VDGG, Hatfield & The North, Soft Machine, Wigwam and many, many more.
 
Mark Powell writes an essay in the accompanying booklet.
