The reunion, which will be the first in 40 years, will include Ray's guitarist brother Dave who had recovered from 2004 stroke, bassist Pete Quaife who left the band in 1969 and drummer Mick Avory.
"I spoke to Quaife about a month ago and he dearly wants to make another record with me," Ray said. "I think Dave's getting better and Mick's still playing. It would be great to get back together just to see what musical ideas we had and what would happen."
