We were thrilled when Phil Keaggy's camp reached out to us to tell us about the new reissue of Keaggy's 1973 "What a Day" 3-CD Set. Once they explained how much care and attention had been poured into such an historic release, we were hoping we would get a chance to team up with them to provide fans with one of the most important releases to ever come out in CCM/Christian music. When it was decided we would team up, everyone at Retroactive Records and Boone's Overstock did the happy dance - and then of course, we launched into a Keaggy inspired air-guitar solo! It's hard to believe it's been 50 years since this classic album was released.
We expect to have the CDs in our hands and shipping by 11/14/2023 - so you won't have to wait long, if at all.
Go ahead and scroll down to read all about what makes this 3-CD Set a Collector's Dream - thanks to Phil and Tom Gulotta for putting more effort into this release than most artists get with their entire catalog. It's that special.
Oh, and by the time orders launch, we hope to have as many as 40 or 50 Vinyl and CD Keaggy Collectibles as well!

ABOUT THE ALBUM
The early days of Jesus Music wouldn't have been the same without the remarkable presence of Phil Keaggy. While he was already making waves in Christian-themed music with Glass Harp, it was his debut solo album, "What A Day," that truly solidified his status as a beloved singer-songwriter and an unassuming guitar virtuoso within Christian music circles. The album's significance in the realm of Christian rock and CCM is undeniable, placing it alongside other timeless classics from the era.
Now, celebrating its 50th anniversary, the "What A Day" Deluxe Edition is a testament to the enduring magic of this musical gem. Remastered by the original engineer and co-producer, Gary Hedden, Disc One presents the pristine original album, letting listeners rediscover the soul-stirring fusion of acoustic and electric soft rock, where intricate chords interweave with beautiful flowing melodies. But the enchantment doesn't stop there. Disc Two takes you behind the studio curtains, unveiling 16 alternative mixes, outtakes, and instrumental versions meticulously crafted in 2023 from the original multi-track recordings. These hidden treasures breathe fresh life into Keaggy's classic compositions.
As if that weren't enough, Disc Three offers a time capsule with 20 acoustic demos and outtakes from 1970-1972, recorded on cassette tapes by Phil himself. This raw, unvarnished glimpse into the genesis of songs that would later become cherished classics, along with those hidden gems, adds a new dimension to the album's history.
This limited Deluxe Edition also includes a 40-page booklet, offering a peek into the past with an abundance of never-before-seen photographs from the original "What A Day" photo shoot by Bob Combs. The liner notes provide invaluable insights from Phil himself, co-producer Gary Hedden, and project supervisor Tom Gulotta. Additionally, acclaimed author and Chesterton biographer Kevin Belmonte shares a heartfelt essay. The entire collection is thoughtfully presented in an 8-panel digipak, wrapped in a cardboard O-ring, reflecting Retroactive Records' commitment to delivering the ultimate collector's experience.
The 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of "What A Day" is a fan's dream come true, a musical time capsule that encapsulates Phil Keaggy's unparalleled artistry.
