John Prine took us by storm in the late-night aftermath of our Chicago show. Steve Goodman, whose songs had blown us away all week, urged us to check out his friend in Old Town. Despite the late hour and an early wake-up, we went. When we arrived, Old Town was deserted, and the club was closing. But the owner let us in. John unpacked his guitar and started to sing. In that empty tavern with chairs upside down on tables, there was an awkward moment. But as soon as he opened his mouth, we knew we were hearing something extraordinary - like discovering Dylan in the Village. He sang many songs, and it was unforgettable. This is John Prine's debut album, a must - have for fans of American country and folk. It comes in a clear vinyl pressing, includes a printed insert, and is a limited - edition part of the Atlantic 75 series. Originally released in 1971, it's re - issued by Atlantic in 2023.
To enjoy this John Prine vinyl LP, just place it on your record player. Make sure the turntable is clean and the stylus is in good condition. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. After each use, gently wipe the vinyl with a record cleaning brush to keep it in top shape. Store the vinyl upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The printed insert is a nice keepsake, so handle it carefully too. This limited - edition record is a collectible, so take good care of it to preserve its value and your listening experience.
