TOWNES VAN ZANDT At My Window (Sugar Hill SH-1020) RARE US 1st Pressing MINT
RARE US first pressing of Townes Van Zandt`s late-period master stroke "At My Window", on Sugar Hill Records (May 1987).
"If Townes Van Zandt, the singer and writer of the song, had lived 40 years ago, he might be as revered, and as widely known, as Hank Williams is today. The comparison isn't farfetched. Both men live in their music, as if singing and writing and being human were the same thing, and all as natural as breathing. Their songwriting craft and vocal musicianship are exceptional, but what you hear is beyond all that; it seems to be the direct, untrammeled expression of a man's soul. You can hear the South and the Southwest in the accents, the casually mentioned names of towns and rivers, the music's unforced swing. But the highway runs from one end of America to the other, and for men like these, the highway is heritage and home." - Robert Palmer - New York Times, June 1987.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: SHIPPING COSTS ARE $9 TO EUROPE / $13 TO USA AND REST OF THE WORLD
eBay`s maximum shipping cost for the US is predetermined at $4. Obviously, the pricing system does not foresee foreign sellers listing in the US. However, we cannot possibly ship a record from Europe at this price. By purchasing, the buyer agrees with the mailing costs as outlined above.
