Bobbie Gentry / The Delta Sweete limited 2LP deluxe vinyl

The Delta Sweete limited 2LP deluxe vinyl

Bobbie Gentry's second album, The Delta Sweete, is being reissued on 2LP vinyl deluxe edition.

This was a concept album inspired by her Mississippi childhood, it was originally released in early 1968 by Capitol Records.

This new edition is curated by Andrew Batt, who put together the fabulous 2018 box set The Girl From Chickasaw County. Unlike the version in that box set, this release features a brand new stereo mix of The Delta Sweete, created (by Batt) from the original multi-tracks. 

There are ten bonus tracks none of which have ever been issued on vinyl and this limited-edition deluxe edition is the first official repress of the album on vinyl since 1972.

This is released via UMC on 31 July 2020
