Description

The Late Great Townes Van Zandt - Original Pressing LP - 1972 Poppy Records. Stunning example and looks UN-Played.
The Late, Great Townes Van Zandt would be the singer's last studio album for the ailing Poppy Records. It was produced by Jack Clement, with Eggers telling Van Zandt biographer John Kruth in 2007, "Jack produced the basic tracks to 'No Lonesome Tune' and 'Honky Tonkin'. I cut all the basic tracks to everything else and mixed it. The strings on the 'Silver Ships of Andilar' were arranged by Bergen White, one of the few black musicians in Nashville who happened to be the top string arranger in those days." According to the book To Live's To Fly: The Ballad of the Late, Great Townes Van Zandt, Eggers had wanted to overdub drums on "Pancho and Lefty" but Van Zandt vetoed the idea.
