Description
This is a rare and sealed vinyl LP titled "The Grand Tour" by George Jones, released in 1974 under Epic Records. The 12-inch record features 11 tracks of classic country music.
The record remains sealed in the factory shrink wrap so the assumed grading is near mint, and the sleeve grading is also near mint. It has a catalog number of KE 33083. This LP is a must-have for any fan of George Jones or collectors of classic country music.
From Wikipedia… The Grand Tour is an album by the American country music artist George Jones, released in 1974 as his fifth album for Epic Records. It peaked at #11 on the BillboardCountry Albums chart and contained the hit title track, which reached a peak of #1 in August 1974. It is Jones’ 50th Album Release.
The Grand Tour is considered one of Jones's greatest albums. Thom Jurek of AllMusic gives the album a perfect score (5 out of 5) and writes: The Grand Tour was "a watershed for Jones, boasting the title track as one of the most devastating country singles ever issued that came so close to crossing over it was being played on some adult pop stations along with Sinatra, Bennett, Dionne Warwick, and Herb Alpert...Ultimately, this is Jones' country, the kind of country music that is pure yet as sophisticated as Sherrill wanted it to be." In July 2013, Andrew Meuller of Uncut compared the album to Frank Sinatra's In the Wee Small Hours, calling it "An exultant wallow in heartbreak" with Jones inhabiting songs "like an inmate on suicide watch."
This 50 year old LP remains factory sealed, so I cannot confirm the vinyl matrix number nor the pressing plant.
