In 2018, Steve Perry made his long-awaited return with the release of Traces, his first new album in 25 years. Now, on Traces (Alternate Versions & Sketches), Steve revisits his favorite tracks, stripping away the grand production and taking the songs to their pure essence. Produced by Steve and Thom Flowers, this release offers a fascinating glimpse into the creative process and a deeper understanding of the album. Deluxe 2 LP set presented in one picture disc and one red vinyl disc.
