WARREN ZEVON – Preludes (2022 Repress) – 2LP – Black Vinyl

2LP – Black Vinyl

Following Warren Zevon‘s death in 2003, his son, Jordan Zevon, discovered 126 unreleased outtakes and demos in a piano-sized touring case. This discovery would be distilled down to the best of these recordings and eventually released as a 2CD set titled, Preludes.

Preludes was originally released on CD on May 1, 2007. When the album was released it featured 16 unreleased recordings from Zevon’s personal archives. It also included 6 never before released songs. The release also included a 5-part interview with KGSR‘s Jody Denberg from the year 2000. Now, for the first time ever these recordings will be reissued on vinyl.
