Rare pressing on Gatefold

The Complete Reprise Sessions is a Country album by Gram Parsons, originally released in 2006. On Gatefold: 2 pressings tracked.
About
Country music was a lot less cool before Gram Parsons recorded these two solo albums the year prior to his 1973 demise at only 26. <i>GP</i> and <i>Grievous Angel</i> mark his mastery of country conventions—in "A Song for You," “Hickory Wind," and "Brass Buttons"—and a delivery that uncannily blended innocence and experience. <i>The Complete Reprise Sessions</i> contains both of those (remastered) albums along with outtakes (don't miss "The Angels Rejoiced Last Night") and interviews.
