Format:Audio CD
I bought the vinyl album in the late sixties and whilst 'c & w' wasn't something that interested me I came to love every track. No longer able to play my vinyl, I am absolutely delighted that I re-invested in the CD. The CD uses the original 1930's artwork but I would have loved a poster to re-read the small print alongside the cowboy dress artwork. The choice of tracks, mostly covers, was heavily influenced by new band member Gram Parsons. His vocals which were originally re-recorded due to a contract dispute, with Mcguinn as lead, are included as bonus tracks.
There is not a weak track and I find my personal favorite changes with each play. My only brickbat is that 'Drug store truck drivin man' which was on the original UK album is not included. This is presumably missed as a less acid-tongued 'truck drivin man' is on on the 2nd disc. This features the Parsons led International Submarine Band on 6 tracks and additional Sweetheart omitted tracks(very good) and Parsons original vocals of 4 main album tracks.
The original album alone is must for fans of Eagles type music,basically this album started the whole gendre, but with the addition of the extra tracks and second album it's an absolute bargain. Buy it and grow to love it, it's a kinda secret joyous friend.

This is a beautiful album.
If you have broken, or are breaking out of, the confines of disliking Country music for all the cliches and Pop Country gloom out there, then there are no reasons I can give for not liking this.
I fell for 'The Burrito Brothers' debut 'Gilded Palace of Sin' after a few listens, and after reading that this album tops even that, was skeptical. But, I must say, this has absolute classic perfection written all over it.
The Nashville session Pedal Steel Guitarist, Lloyd Green was given rare freedom to slide around at his own jurisdiction and it bears sweet fruit. A bit like Vassar Clements' violin work with the Bluegrass, Jerry Garcia starring outfit from 1973, 'Old & In The Way'- it doesn't dominate, but blends into the sound seamlessly whilst allowing you to tune in and marvel.
Although Gram Parsons was heavily involved, he isn't out front much, (record company conflicts) but he left his mark here before breaking out with 'The Flying Burrito Brothers'.
This is a short and very sweet album. Maybe 'The Byrds' best.
Please note: This edition comes in packaging intended to reduce carbon emissions and to breakdown quickly if discarded. Hence this version may not be ideal for those who want the liner notes and solid, durable/normal casing.
