The albums of Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings have been collected together across three volumes of boxsets, covering 12 CDs including exclusive live sessions from their tours.
Hailed as the good-time ten-piece band that has toured Europe, the UK and has released a huge library of acclaimed albums, Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings have continued that musical journey that Bill started after he left the Rolling Stones in 1992.
With its core of regular members, as well as a rotating who’s-who of music fame and talent, Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings have now pulled together a three volume compilation of albums – both live and studio – as well as exclusive bonus material into a series of collectors’ box sets. The albums are available to buy on iTunes and also Amazon as CD boxsets.

CDs 2 and 4 are recordings from the band’s live shows originally given a limited release as the ‘Bootleg Kings’, and unavailable for many years. The 24 page booklet contains all the credits and brand new annotation by Tony Rounce.
