Some of my favorite artists are making it really hard for me not to embrace vinyl. Near the top of that list is Ryan Adams.
After skipping a CD release and going exclusively vinyl/digital for several EPs, live collections and vanity projects, Adams is going all out for the deluxe edition of his new album Prisoner. Yes, the album will be released on CD as well as standard vinyl on February 17. But the Prisoner: End of the World Edition is a whole lot of vinyl. I mean, a WHOLE LOT of vinyl.
This limited edition set is on sale today for fans on Adams’ mailing list. It goes on sale to everyone else tomorrow. At $150, it sounds a bit expensive, but it does include action figures, so… how can you not buy?
The full details of the set, directly from Ryan, are below. You can pre-order here.
PRISONER: END OF WORLD EDITION INCLUDES:
• Twelve 7″ records (All 12 songs from Prisoner)
• 17 previously unreleased B-sides
