Notes
Record Store Day release.
This is a Limited Edition version with 3 bonus tracks. Limited to 3000 units worldwide.
Released in a slipcase with a booklet.
Following Warren Zevon's death in 2003, his son Jordan Zevon discovered 126 unreleased outtakes and demos in a piano-sized touring case. This discovery would be distilled down to the best of these recordings and eventually released as a 2CD set titled Preludes released on May 1, 2007. When the album was released it featured sixteen unreleased recordings from Zevon's personal archives, as well as six never-before released songs and a five-part 2000 interview with KGSR's Jody Denberg. Now, for the first vinyl release, these will be pressed on beautiful Sky Blue vinyl, this doule LP set features all of the exclusive bonus tracks as well as a beautiful 20-page perfect bound book, all packaged in a hardbound slipcase.

Reviews
- If you've been looking for a copy at a decent price, this is being re-pressed on black vinyl with a June 24 release date.
Absolutely phenomenal pressing and packaging! The included book is full of glossy photos and stories, while the vinyl is flat, clean, and so dynamic, despite the demo quality of the songs.
I had this CD when it came out and always hoped for a vinyl release someday—well worth the wait! A must for any Zevon fan.
