| Terry Allen discusses his 1979 classic "Lubbock (on Everything) reissued by Paradise of Bachelors. |
Here's the scoop...
Legendary Texan artist Terry Allen occupies a unique position straddling the frontiers of country music and visual art; he has worked with everyone from Guy Clark to David Byrne, and his artwork resides in museums worldwide. Widely acclaimed as a masterpiece, his deeply moving (and hilarious) satirical second album, Lubbock (on Everything) – originally issued in 1979 – is a complex memory palace to his West Texas hometown of Lubbock.
The Paradise Of Bachelors' reissue of Lubbock (on Everything) was produced in collaboration with the artist and meticulously remastered from the original analog tapes. This is the definitive edition: the first to correct the tape speed inconsistencies evident on all prior versions; the first U.S. vinyl reissue; the first CD to restore the full track listing; and the first to contextualize the record within Allen’s 50-year career.
Deluxe 2×LP package includes tip-on gatefold jacket with lyrics, printed inner sleeves, download code, and 28 page book with related artwork and photos, an oral history by Allen, and essays by David Byrne, Lloyd Maines, and PoB. 2×CD edition features replica jacket, sleeves, and tipped-in 52 page booklet.
