Description
This was Willie's final LP for RCA, released in 1972, culminating insoluble differences with Nashville (he would then sign with Atlantic, move to Austin, and create the "outlaw" country style), RCA's Nashville office wanted to ensure a flop by giving it an awkward title, unflattering cover photo, and almost no real distribution. Pickwick would reissue it a few years later (although the tape transfer ended up in low quality sound for the Pickwick reissue), with same cover, same title, which is far more common to find.
This one, the 1st press on RCA is legitimately difficult to find.
A promo copy, sent to KSHA radio station, which is probably why it survived.
- Vinyl Condition: EX (odd small abrasion on 2-side intro runout groove, DNAP, otherwise pristine)
- Cover Condition: VG- (Heavy ringwear, corner scuffing, pen marks on front cover promo label, two radio station KSHA stamps on back, owner identification stick on left hand back corner)
- Record Label: RCA Victor LSP-4760
- Additional Attributes: Promo Copy
My grading system comes from being a longtime collector myself, meaning conservative grading, and transparency. NM EX VG+ VG VG- G+
If a record is sealed, I will state "sealed" and presumed "mint", making sure it is flat, and such. Should a buyer win a sealed item, I am happy to unseal it for them upon request.
I have been collecting for about 20 years, and integrity is important to me; I want you to be proud and happy with your purchase, satisfied with accurate grading, and knowing you can have confidence in the record when bidding and purchasing.
At TigerLilyCollectibles we hope to have the honor of your business, and repeat business if another desired item comes up :)
Although the idea, practices is to absolutely avoid this for your satisfaction, if it happens, returns are accepted, money back, and for domestic purchasers in the US, the return shipping is on us. Everything possible is done to instead have an item you're completely satisfied with, but apart of integrity is standing by the customer, you.
Please feel free to message with any questions, comments, concerns, and I will be happy to return a thorough, comprehensive response :)
