Emmylou Harris ‎– Light Of The Stable-The Christmas Album

Pop, Folk, World, & Country

Vocal, Country

1979

The early original release of Emmylou Harris "Light of the Stable" was released in 1980, not 1979. Discogs has the release on many pages as 1979 but that is not correct. I have a picture of the Test Pressing LP that states on the sleeve from Warner Brothers that the release date was September 24, 1980. I also know that I bought this in late 1980 as it was a new release and I worked at a radio station that year and we played it on the air. I also made a copy of the photo of this Test Pressing LP currently up (as of today December 23, 2019) on ebay with the Warner Brothers official release date designated as September 24th, 1980 on the sleeve of the test pressing jacket but have no way to post the photo here. Again, Emmylou Harris "Light of the Stable" was originally released in late 1980, not 1979. Additional Note: Washington Post article from July 6, 1980 says: ""Light of the Stable" will be released this December (it was available this year as an English import)". So, it looks like the album was released in Euriope in 1979 and in US in 1980. Or at least it was released in Europe earlier, than US.
