Sonny Rollins
Craft Recordings celebrates the 60th anniversary of Sonny Rollins' 1957 classic Way Out West with a 2-LP slipcased box set adding an entire second album of bonus material. Past CD releases have included three alternate takes ("I'm an Old Cowhand," "Way Out West," and "Come, Gone") as bonus tracks. This new vinyl reissue ups the ante by including those as well as four more previously unreleased tracks on a second vinyl LP: two fly-on-the-wall spoken word bits from the studio; an alternate version of "There is No Greater Love," and Take 1 of "Way Out West." It's been pressed at Quality Record Pressings on 180-gram vinyl. For those not interested in vinyl, Way Out West will also be available to stream as well as mastered for iTunes and in high-resolution digital (96/24 and 192/24) digital downloads. A CD release is not currently planned.
