Link: JIM REEVES RARE & UNRELEASED
The company is needing to replenish its supply and was caught unaware by how popular this recording has become!
It contains 21 new overdubs you have never heard before, plus 5 previously unreleased demos (including Jim doing a new song, singing back-up to one of the Blue Boys -- undoubtedly the most unusual demo to ever surface on Mr. Reeves!)
The sound quality, of course, is superb and the talented musicians who combined their talents for this project did a great job. Although RCA released a few of these tracks as overdubs decades ago, the technology did not exist in those days to clean up the tracks as well as can be done now. On the VM release they sound like studio masters, they're so good! No tape hiss, or fogginess!
My favorite is that beautiful Spanish guitar arrangement with cello (or is it viola? I'm not sure), and lively percussion, etc. on "You're Slipping Away From Me." Even Jim's vocal sounds clearer and richer.
It's only $16.95 -- a true bargain for 31 songs -- and it includes a booklet with interesting liner notes and some rare pictures of Jim.
The photo on the back of the tray card will surprise you!
We highly recommend it.
