Robin Trower je britský blues-rockový gitarista, ktorý dosiahol úspech so skupinou Procol Harum v druhej polovici 60. rokov a potom ako líder vlastného power tria. Preslávil sa predovšetkým svojím virtuóznym gitarovým štýlom a charakteristickým zvukom, ktorý mu vyniesol porovnanie s Jimi Hendrixom.
Kompilácia The Studio Albums 1973–1983, vydaná v roku 2019 na značke Chrysalis, obsahuje desať štúdiových albumov britského gitaristu z jeho kľúčového tvorivého desaťročia. Každé z desiatich CD je zabalené v miniatúrnom kartónovom LP obale a celá sada je umiestnená v pevnom boxe. Kolekcia zahŕňa 90 skladieb vrátane klasických nahrávok ako Bridge of Sighs, Day of the Eagle či Daydream, ktoré patria medzi vrcholy Trowerovej kariéry. Prvé tri sólové albumy produkoval jeho bývalý spoluhráč z Procol Harum, organista Matthew Fisher.
