[PREORDER] Ween - 12 Golden Country Greats

Deluxe Edition Black 3LP, 30th Anniversary Remaster

In November 1995, Ween went to Nashville and cut a straight-up country record at the legendary Bradley's Barn with a crew of veteran Nashville session musicians, produced by Ben Vaughn. Released in July 1996 as their fifth album and third for Elektra, 12 Golden Country Greats is the only Ween record devoted entirely to a single genre.

For the 30th anniversary, Rhino has remastered the 1996 album (the non-sample version) and paired it with two discs of previously unreleased and rare demos and studio outtakes from the Nashville sessions - 36 tracks in all. The outtakes include Ween's take on the Rolling Stones' "Fool to Cry" and "So Long Jerry," their nod to Jerry Garcia. This pressing is the Deluxe Edition on black 3LP.

Also offered here as the Deluxe Edition 3CD softpak, and as the remastered 1996 album on cassette.
