True Grit: Capitol Reissues, Updates “Glen Campbell: The Legacy” Box Set For June Release

May 2, 2019 By Joe Marchese 6 Comments

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Since going out of print, Capitol Records’ 2003 box set Glen Campbell: The Legacy [1961-2002] has been regularly commanding three-figure sums on the secondhand market.  Yesterday, the label delivered some great news to fans of the late superstar.  On June 21, Capitol and UMe will issue a new, updated version of the box set in slimmer, digipak packaging, and with a completely new Disc Four bringing the story of Campbell’s incredible career to its completion.

The first three CDs of the original box set, reprised here in full, trace the artist’s journey from the 1961 Crest Records single “Turn Around, Look at Me” through the 1993 Liberty album track “Somebody Like That” from the LP of the same name.  Along the way, the 65 slices of powerful country-pop on these three discs encompass Campbell’s enduring hits like “Gentle on My Mind,” “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “Wichita Lineman,” “Dreams of the Everyday Housewife,” “Galveston,” “Where’s the Playground, Susie,” “True Grit,” “Honey Come Back,” “Rhinestone Cowboy,” “Country Boy (You Got Your Feet in L.A.),” and “Southern Nights” plus flawless interpretations of all-time standards like “MacArthur Park,” “Highwayman,” and “God Only Knows.”  The set also includes the Brian Wilson/Russ Titelman-penned-and-produced favorite “Guess I’m Dumb,” and other classics written by Glen’s friend and collaborator Jimmy Webb.  Duets with Bobbie Gentry, Anne Murray, Rita Coolidge, and Steve Wariner are also peppered throughout these discs.  Campbell’s remarkable gifts as both a singer and guitarist are in abundance on these well-chosen selections.

The original fourth disc of The Legacy presented 15 live performances spanning 1968-2000.  The new reissue will jettison the live disc, instead featuring 13 songs highlighting Glen’s late period triumphs Love Is the Answer (2004), Capitol “comeback” Meet Glen Campbell (2008), Ghost on the Canvas (2011), See You There (2013), the Grammy-winning Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me soundtrack (2014), and Adios (2017).  The latter was recorded in 2012-2013 and released just before his passing in August 2017 from complications of Alzheimer’s.

The total for The Legacy is 78 tracks – two shy of the original’s 80 – though it newly presents the final, extraordinary chapter of Glen Campbell’s career.  Joel Selvin’s liner notes for the original box will be included (and perhaps updated) for this release.   Bob Norberg remastered the original iteration at Capitol Studios. Glen Campbell: The Legacy [1961-2017] is due on June 21 from Capitol/UMe and can be pre-ordered at the links below!

    This looks great, but only one track from the phenomenal “Ghost on the Canvas”? Having so few tracks on disc 4 compared to the rest gives the impression the last albums arent as strong as they are. Many buyers will miss out on a half dozen amazing GOTC songs.

      I agree. “Ghost On The Canvas” was both heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time.

      Oh, Ghost On The Canvas is a masterpiece. People should own that entire CD.

    I hope that individual album reissues with bonus tracks will eventually become reality.

    For those of us who have the original set…would it kill them to offer the new disc as a standalone? I’m not buying the entire set all over again just to get another disc.

      if you own the original, sell it now at the high secondary market prices and then buy this new set which is very affordable.
