• Rolling Tide Records To Release "Little Stevie Orbit", "Steve Forbert", and "Don't Look Down" on August 2
  
       
  
  SteveForbert.com receives a lot of questions and requests, but easily the most common question in our inbox is "why aren't "Little Stevie Orbit" and Steve Forbert available on CD?". We're happy to be able to tell you that the wait is finally over and the albums have never sounded so good!
  
  "Little Stevie Orbit" and "Steve Forbert" will be released on CD for the first time ever on August 2! Both of these albums have been out-of-print since their original vinyl pressings in the early '80s and have never been available digitally in any format until now.
  
  "Little Stevie Orbit" is fully remastered and features the original thirteen tracks from the 1980 album release along with five outtakes from the Orbit sessions.  Also included is a free bonus disc of live material recorded in Denver, CO in November 1980.  "Orbit" is the follow-up to 1979's "Jackrabbit Slim" and includes the singles "Get Well Soon", "Schoolgirl", and "Song For Katrina".
  
  The free bonus disc, "On Tour: Live in Denver, CO, captures Steve Forbert and the Orbit touring band live on Thanksgiving 1980 and features 20 tracks in total -- including songs from "Alive On Arrival", "Jackrabbit Slim", and "Little Stevie Orbit".
  
  "Steve Forbert (The Fourth Album)" originally released in 1982, has also been fully remastered and will include the eleven tracks from the original release plus nine bonus tracks recorded during the sessions for the album. The self-titled album features guest appearances from Sonny Terry, Larry Campbell, Sid McGinnis, David Sanborne, and The Jordanaires.
  
  "Little Stevie Orbit" and "Steve Forbert" were mastered in May 2011 by Dennis Drake at The Music Lab in Morganville, NJ. "On Tour: Live in Denver, CO" was edited and mastered by Kenneth McGee at Mastermix Audio Media in Asbury Park, NJ.
  
  The 1980 promotional video for "Get Well Soon" is now streaming at http://www.steveforbert.com.
  
  In addition to "Little Stevie Orbit" and Steve Forbert, August 2nd will see the release of a new live album from Steve Forbert entitled "Don't Look Down".  The bulk of the sixteen tracks on this solo acoustic release were recorded live at Puck in Doylestown, PA on March 27, 2010 with the additional tracks recorded in 2011 in Houston, TX and Marietta, OH.
  
  "Don't Look Down" features a recording of "Don't Look Down, Pollyanna" on CD for the first time (a studio demo featuring Garry Tallent on bass was released on a seven track digital EP in October 2009).
