The five-part, nine album Johnny Cash box-set, Unearthed is set to be reissued on vinyl for the first time.
Originally released on CD in November 2003, the album was a celebration of the 10 year working relationship between Cash and producer Rick Rubin, note The Vinyl Factory. Cash died unexpectedly in September 2003 before ever hearing the final masters.
Johnny Cash’s epic five-part final album, Unearthed – a collaboration with Rick Rubin – to be reissued as cloth-bound vinyl set.
Unearthed features outtakes and alternate versions of songs recorded for American Recordings, Unchained, American III: Solitary Man and American IV: The Man Comes Around, gospel covers performed by Cash, and a “best of” collection from his first four American albums.
The vinyl reissue “features two cloth-bound books housed in an LP-sized black-cloth slipcase” which holds all nine records, plus a 60-page book with liner notes, interviews, commentary about all 79 songs from Cash and Rubin, plus exclusive photography.
The Unearthed vinyl box set is available 3rd November 2017 via American Recordings and UMe. Check out the tracklisting below, via The Vinyl Factory.
