ALBANY, NY - September 11, 2007 - The Family of John Denver are marking the 10th anniversary of his untimely accident with the release of 2 hours of rare concert recordings which have never been released to the public. The two CD set, produced by seven time Grammy® Winner and John's friend Roger Nichols, is scheduled for release on Tuesday, 10/25/07 - by AAO Music - The home of REALITY - in conjunction with John's brother Ron Deutschendorf.
John Denver's 1985 tour of the Soviet Union was historic for many reasons and also paved the way for other American artists to perform in the Soviet Union. The eleven concerts were performed at various venues throughout the country and each performance was recorded on a custom digital recorder. The tapes, re-discovered in 2002, have been restored, remixed and mastered for this CD set by seven time Grammy® winner Roger Nichols.
With over two hours of music including John's greatest hits as well as rare versions and lesser known songs make this CD a must have for any John Denver fan. One of the highlights on the CD is a version of "Annie's Song" sung by Denver in Russian. The CDs are packaged with never before seen photos and tributes from John's mom, his brother Ron, Roger Nichols and industry veteran Mike McVay

About The USSR Concert Tour
When John Denver set foot on stage in the Soviet Union it was a historical moment. These performances would be the first by an American artist since the Cold War began - an unprecedented cultural exchange between the United States and Russia. These concerts culminated in an agreement to allow other Western artists to perform in the Soviet Union. The official record reflects that this was made possible by the efforts of John Denver.
