Johnny Cash - The Outtakes [3 CD Box Set]

The legend that is Johnny Cash has had numerous alternate takes of his Sun recordings available on scattered albums around the world.

For the first time Bear Family has issued a collection of every Johnny Cash alternate take known to exist in the Sun archives. Collectors and fans will want to make side-by-side comparisons with the originally released versions of these songs, with them presented in chronological order according to most up-to-date research.

The Outtakes is a 111 track three CD Box Set that offers the most penetrating look so far beyond the famous master recordings made by a man who has become a towering figure in American music.

As is to be expected from Bear Family the package includes a lavishly illustrated booklet containing rare and previously unpublished photos as well as original session notes.
