And such an amusing companion, too.” – Mick Jagger All tracks previously unreleased including unheard recordings from Daryl Hall and John Oates, David Johansen (New York Dolls), Terry Allen, Delbert McClinton, Andy Warhol’s Superstar Ultra Violet, Norma Jean Bell, and The Jim Carroll Band. Restored and remastered audio by GRAMMY®-nominated engineer, John Baldwin. Extensive booklet featuring unseen archive photos, ephemera and label history (LP: 20-pgs). Liner notes by journalist Joe Hagan with exclusive interviews. Double LP pressed on 180-gram vinyl and housed in a gatefold jacket. ‘Cocktail Party’ Vinyl Color Edition pressed on Clear Wax – Indies Only.. (Both vinyl versions are Non -Returnable.) Earl McGrath was the ultimate ’70s jet setter, an art collector and comic bon vivant who stumbled into the record business between legendary parties in New York and LA and discovered Daryl Hall and John Oates and then Jim Carroll. Atlantic founder Ahmet Ertegun gave Earl his own label, Clean Records, in 1970; Mick Jagger hired him to run Rolling Stones Records in 1977. Friend to Joan Didion, Andy Warhol, and a galaxy of luminaries, Earl was an inveterate tastemaker. Actor Harrison Ford, who before Star Wars fame was Earl’s handyman and pot dealer, called him “the last of a breed, one of the last great gentlemen and bohemians.” After Earl died in 2016, journalist Joe Hagan, author of the critically-acclaimed Sticky Fingers, the biography of Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner, discovered a trove of rare and unheard tapes in Earl’s apartment in New York—literally inside his closet. “I asked for a step ladder and the first box I pulled off the shelf was a master tape of Some Girls, the Stones album,” says Hagan. Now Light in the Attic Records proudly presents Earl’s Closet, a double album of the treasures discovered inside, including unheard music by Daryl Hall and John Oates, David Johansen, Terry Allen, Delbert McClinton, Warhol “Superstar” Ultra Violet, Detroit sax legend Norma Jean Bell, Jim Carroll and an eclectic cast of undiscovered artists who once vied for fame and glory—folk, rock, country, funk and R&B gems that virtually no one has heard in decades. Whether it’s the almost-famous power pop of Shadow from Detroit, or the Delfonics-style soul of the Blood Brothers Six, Earl’s Closet retraces the dreams of artists who once sent demos to Earl McGrath. Longtime Light in the Attic-affiliated reissue producer Pat Thomas assisted Hagan in tracking down the artists and finalizing the paperwork. At once an archival mixtape, a secret history and a journey into the heart of an era, Earl’s Closet features a deep booklet of documents, images and ephemera from Earl’s archive, expansive liner notes by Joe Hagan, who tracked down and interviewed the artists, and astonishing photographs by Earl’s late wife, the Italian countess Camilla Pecci-Blunt McGrath Artist Various Artists Genre Rock And Pop Label Light In The Attic Buying Options 2LP , 2LP Coloured Vinyl Format 2LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Two More Bottles of Wine – Delbert & Glen Baby Come Closer – Daryl Hall and John Oates Gonna California – Terry Allen Only Yourself to Lose - Kazoo Singers Christopher – Michael McCarty Dixie Darling – Jim Hurt California – Mark Rodney Killer - Country (Fondiler & Snow) Dry in the Sun – Daryl Hall and John Oates Oh La La - Shadow Cocaine Cowboy – Terry Allen How Do You Do (Children of the Most High) – Ultra Violet Invisible Lady – Johnny Angel (Johnny Angelino) I See My Days Go By - Shadow Where Have All the Flowers Gone? – Blood Brothers Six Salt Showers – Len and Betsy Greene Holy Commotion – Paul Potash Sail Away - Jabor Funky But Chic – David Johansen Just Look-ah What You'll Be Missing – Norma Jean Bell Tension – The Jim Carroll Band Waiting for Me – Little Whisper and the Rumors Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Various Artists View Product Quick View Various Artists Everyone’s Getting Involved Rock And Pop | A24 Music | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 26th July 2024 £36.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Everyone’s Getting Involved £36.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: A24 Music SKU: A24M026lp-C1 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 26th July 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Jazz Dispensary: The Freedom Sound!
