Morning Bugle (Remixed, Remastered, Expan) (RSD24)

The two albums multi-instrumentalist/songwriter John Hartford cut for Warner Bros. In the early ’70s, Aereo-Plain and Morning Bugle, shook the bluegrass genre to the core, adding a modern, irreverent sensibility and fresh repertoire to the tradition-bound style. We have already (twice) reissued Aereo-Plain on LP, but we waited on Morning Bugle because we had something special up our sleeve-namely, the original session tapes! Which means that not only are you getting (with the full consent of the Hartford estate) a new remix and remaster of the original album-which even Hartford devotees admit never sounded that good on the production side of things-but an entire disc of unreleased tracks! Hartford scholar Skip Heller supplies liner notes to this monumental find on the enclosed insert. This 2-LP Expanded Edition comes in forest green vinyl limited to 1500 copies, exclusive to Record Store Day!
