Johnny Cash - All Aboard The Blue Train LP
Pickup currently unavailable at Appleton Store
The comprehensive remastering and repackaging upgrade of the Man In Black's legendary Sun Records catalog continues with the release of Johnny Cash's penultimate album for the label. In November 1962, due to the request of Cash's loyal fanbase, Sun collected all of Johnny's train and related songs, which he had an intuitional love for. To him, the hardship, joy, love, loneliness and adventure of "the big black wheel" were part of the USA's romantic heritage and nostalgic sentiments, which helped to prove his stake as one of the greatest singers of country and folk music. All Aboard The Blue Train features the hugely successful "Folsom Prison Blues" and it's excellent partner "So Doggone Lonesome," which showcased Cash's talents as a writer as well as a singer.
Complete with sleeve notes by Sun Records authority Clive Anderson and Sun Entertainment Corporation president John Singleton, this LP has been remastered from the original Sun master tapes by Nick Robbins at Soundmastering Studios and cut to lacquers at half-speed for unrivaled sound quality by Barry Grint at Alchemy Mastering in London. The Johnny Cash reissue series has been personally overseen by Singleton in Nashville and Charly Records founder Jean-Luc Young, continuing the long relationship between the companies begun by Shelby Singleton and Young almost 50 years ago.
"We applaud and congratulate Charly Records for ensuring Johnny Cash's legendary Sun catalogue continues to be available on the quality formats his music deserves, especially on newly remastered vinyl for the seven LPs that were originally released by Sun Records in the late fifties and early sixties." - John Singleton
