Kenny Rogers’ The Gambler, Glen Campbell’s By the Time I Get to Phoenix, Merle Haggard’s Swinging Doors, and Wanda Jackson’s Rockin’ With Wanda! have been mastered for vinyl by Ron McMaster at Capitol Mastering and will be packaged in true-to-original LP sleeves with restored artwork.
Released in 1979, Kenny Rogers’ The Gambler
was a pop crossover success, topping Billboard’s Country Albums chart
at #1 and reaching #12 on the Billboard 200. The album’s smash hit
ballad, “She Believes In Me,” topped Billboard’s Country and Adult
Contemporary Singles charts and peaked at #5 on the Hot 100. The
album’s title track won two GRAMMY Awards: Best Country Vocal
Performance, Male and Best Country Song. The album is five-times
Platinum-certified by the RIAA with U.S. sales totaling more than five
million copies.
Released in 1968, Glen Campbell’s By the Time I Get to Phoenix
was also a major genre-crossing success, winning the year’s coveted
Album of the Year GRAMMY Award and topping Billboard’s Country Albums
chart at #1 and reaching #15 on the Billboard 200. The
Platinum-certified album’s title track hit #1 on the Country Singles
chart and peaked at #26 on the Hot 100, and the song earned two GRAMMY
Awards for Campbell: Best Vocal Performance, Male and Best Contemporary
Solo Vocal Performance, Male.
Oklahoma native Merle Haggard’s third studio album, Swinging Doors,
was released in 1966. It hit #1 on Billboard’s Country Albums chart
and Haggard earned the year’s Top Male Vocalist award from the Academy
of Country Music.
Released in 1960, fellow Oklahoman Wanda Jackson’s Rockin’ With Wanda!
is still considered to be the finest collection of the Queen of
Rockabilly’s signature singles from the mid to late 1950s, including
Jackson’s inviting, high-energy take on “Let’s Have a Party,” which
peaked at #37 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “I Gotta Know,” which hit
#15 on Billboard’s Country Singles chart.
Already announced, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s Will the Circle be Unbroken
will also be reissued on 180-gram triple vinyl on March 12. Remastered
by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering, the new release is the
first vinyl reissue of one of Americana’s most influential recordings.
