| John Wesley Harding's "lost" album The Man With No Shadow from 2002 is being issued by Yep Roc on August 29th. |
Here's the scoop...
In May 2002, just weeks before the release of John Wesley Harding's The Man with No Shadow album, Mammoth Records had their plug pulled. About 300 journalists received advance CDs of Harding's new recording, and a handful of radio stations received the single "Negative Love'. No other physical copies existed. Over the years those advance CDs have fetched untold hundreds of dollars from an eager fan base in search of Wes' great 'lost" album. Though many - but not all - of the songs ended up on 2004's Adam's Apple (DRT Records), which All Music Guide called 'the finest album of his career', those that did make the cut were in a jumbled running order. The album has never previously been released on vinyl. Yep Roc's The Man With No Shadow (First Edition) restores the album to Wes's original vision. The audio has been remastered from the original tapes, and the package includes cover art from the original sessions and extensive liner notes. The CD version includes the original album plus a bonus unheard band demos and studio outtakes, all previously unreleased. The vinyl version is being pressed in an edition of 1,000 copies. Check the track list following the trailer clip below.
