New JB vinyl coming this summer

[urlcenter]

Mailboat records and Geffen Records are releasing 13 of Jimmy's albums on vinyl this Summer, this includes 3 albums that have never been released on vinyl before. Those albums are Fruitcakes, Barometer Soup and Banana Wind.

Mailboat Records is currently accepting pre-orders at this time for the June releases

Here is the complete list:

June 7
“Living and Dying in ¾ Time” (1974) – Buffett’s fourth album yielded his first Top 40 hit, “Come Monday.” Other favorite tracks include “Pencil This Mustache.”

“One Particular Harbour” (1983) – In addition to the title track, this album included the concert staple “Stars on the Water” and the playful “We Are The People Our Parents Warned Us About.”

“Fruitcakes” (1994) – Ume says this was the first Buffett album ever to break into the Top 5 of Billboard’s Top 200. It’s a double LP; in addition to the title song, notable tracks include covers of “Uncle John’s Band” by the Grateful Dead, “Sunny Afternoon” by The Kinks and the Hank Cochran song “She’s Got You,” made famous by Patsy Cline.

July 12
“A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean” (1973) – Released before “Living and Dying in ¾ Time,” this album laid out the boundaries of Buffett’s escapist world with tunes such as “He Went to Paris,” “The Great Filling Station Holdup,” “Grapefruit-Juicy Fruit” and, of course, the anthemic “Why Don’t We Get Drunk.”

“Havana Daydreamin’” (1976) – Buffett nearly broke into Billboard’s Top 20 country album chart with this one, which includes the hangover lament “My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink, and I Don’t Love Jesus.”

“Banana Wind” (1996) – This mid-’90s set debuted at No. 4 and added “Jamaica Mistaica” to the Buffett canon.

August 16
“Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes” (1977) – Behold “Margaritaville,” the tune that turned a shifting refrain into one of the biggest hooks in all pop music and gave birth to a business empire.

“Son of a Son of a Sailor” (1978) – This is the one where Buffett revolutionized the concept of paradise by introducing cheeseburgers to its menu.

“Volcano” (1979) – The title track obviously became a major addition to the Buffett setlist. So did “Fins.”

“Barometer Soup” (1995) – Buffett’s cover of James Taylor’s “Mexico” made it onto the charts and the album went to No. 6.

Any idea if liner notes will be included?

[Bucarader]

I couldn’t imagine it then not. Although my original first editions have the notes printed on the gatefold, nothing inserted.
