High Cumberland Jubilee/Comin' Down Slow
| High Cumberland Jubilee | |
| Release Date: | 1976 (recorded 1971) |
| Original Vinyl Information: | BR/6014, Barnaby Records. Album has a plain sleeve, and a yellow (sort of) label with an album melting over a tree branch. A rare variation of this album exists, but is in the music, not the packaging. On this variation "Bend a Little" replaces "England" on side two (repeated from side one, but mixed ever so slightly different), and "Ace" replaces and "Travelin' Clean." Also, the track "High Cumberland Jubilee" carries on to the end rather than fading out like on the most common versions of the album (this is the mix that is used on Before The Beach). The label on the second side lists the tracks as they should appear, not as they are. I know of the existence of at least three copies of the album like this, so I suspect that it is rare, but not impossible to find. The only way to determine if the album is the rare version is to play it. |
| Original CD Information: | Varese Vintage VSD-5776. Released June 30, 1998. |
Jimmy Buffett's second recorded album, which Barnaby Records conveniently "lost" until 1976 when Jimmy had made some serious sales. it is very folky, a side of Jimmy most partyheads don't know or don't like. If you are partial to Jim Croce or other singer-songwriters you will probably like this album. Some of the songs are mixed differently than on Before The Beach, making its purchase noteworthy to serious collectors. Note that Varese Sarabande recently rereleased this album on CD with the bonus track "High Cumberland Dilemma" that was first found on Before The Beach. Varese did a nice job with getting this album out on CD so everyone can own it.
