The next three entries in the Official Bootleg Series—Royce Hall, I’m happy that y’all came down (Dorothy Chandler Pavillion), and Citizen Kane Jr Blues (The Bottom Line)—are finally and officially available for preorder!
The first singles are available to stream in hi-res right here on NYA, and you can watch the official music videos for each tune on their respective infocards.
The deeply oxidized rusties among you will have heard these shows before—they never sounded this sublime, so I hope you dig them all over again—but what excites me about this series is the opportunity people will have to sit down with these recordings for the first time. No need to dig around seedy corners of the internet or time travel to the kind of bygone record store that might keep this kind of thing under the counter with the other less-than-legal wares.
So, without further delay, I invite you to get into that under-the-counter mood: light one up (local ordinances permitting), head on over to the Official Bootleg Series playlist for a perfectly legal listening experience, and click yourself through to the Greedy Hand to buy some bootlegs, baby!
