Metal Mind Productions has issued the following statement:

“We have recently learned that JOHN WETTON’s management issued a statement on the forthcoming box Agenda/Amorata/Amata, claiming it is unauthorized by the artist and therefore asking that fans avoid this title.

As an answer to this statement, we would like to say that Metal Mind Productions has full rights to release this box. Those rights were clearly stated in a contract signed by Metal Mind Productions and John Wetton during his concerts, which were recorded in Poland back in 2003. We feel very uncomfortable about John Wetton’s new management being unaware of this agreement. As this clearly is a misunderstanding, the planned release date of Agenda/Amorata/Amata box remains unchanged.”

The box will be out on May 25th in Europe and July 14th in North America (via MVD).

This legendary vocalist, guitarist, bass player and producer is known for his work with KING CRIMSON, ASIA, ROXY MUSIC, UK, URIAH HEEP, PHIL MANZANERA and GEOFF DOWNES, as well as his solo projects.

The tracklist of Amata includes compositions such as ‘Heat Of The Moment’ (recorded with Asia) and ‘Book Of Saturday’ (recorded with King Crimson), all in new, unique acoustic versions.
