| Here a recording of Terry Allen's "Gonna California" below. A 7-inch single version is being issued by Paradise of Bachelors. |
Here's the scoop...
In conjunction with Hachette Books' publication of Truckload of Art: The Life and Work of Terry Allen, an authorized biography by Brendan Greaves, "Gonna California" imagines an alternate reality where Terry Allen’s long-lost first studio recordings, captured with a full band in LA in 1968, saw a proper release. (Instead nearly the entire pressing was destroyed by a fire set by the so-called “Hollywood Arsonist,” and remaining copies were repurposed in artworks.) This first-ever (re)issue edition, limited to 500 copies, features recently rediscovered and remastered early (and superior) mixes of both songs; the original liner notes by Allen; an excerpt from the book; a lyrics insert; and Allen’s contemporaneous visual art in an arresting gatefold jacket. Pre-order a copy of "Gonna California" directly from Paradise of Bachelors right here. Listen to an alternate version below.
