DESCRIPTION
Limited 45th Anniversary 180 gram translucent blue vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. In 1971 after a plethora of chart topping albums, a treasure trove of smash singles and a top rated TV show, Johnny Cash put together one of his finest albums ever with his masterpiece Man In Black. Recorded in Nashville, TN, Cash wrote and sang some of his most personal and thought provoking songs from the era with such a conviction that he would forever be known as "The Man In Black. " The Man In Black LP features not only the amazing hit title track, but another top hit with the stellar "The Preacher Said Jesus Said" featuring the great Billy Graham. More favorites like "Ned Kelly", the heart wrenching "Dear Mrs. " as well as his tribute to the brave military with "Singin' In Viet Nam Talkin' Blues" all made this album the more introspective and top charter album that to this day is still loved by millions. As another classic installment in our exciting Johnny Cash 180 gram Audiophile Vinyl Series, we are very pleased to present this masterwork in all it's true audiophile glory. Mastered impeccably by long time fan and Johnny Cash reissue producer Joe Reagoso at Friday Music Studios and manufactured at R. T. I. , Man In Black will be a much anticipated audiophile dream release for Johnny Cash fans everywhere. For this exclusive presentation, we are also including the first time ever gatefold artwork which includes the original LP cover elements as well as a rare studio photo of the legend in the inside gatefold art from the Sony Music Archives.
