Bootleg 1: Personal File

Triple 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing. Includes 16 page booklet that contains unseen photos and new liner notes by Greil Marcus. In 2006, Columbia/Legacy released a number of recordings that had been found amongst Johnny Cash's most private and valuable of his possessions. They dubbed it the Personal File, after what Cash had written on the white cardboard boxes that had kept these recordings safe over the years. This triple album encompassed recordings Cash had made between 1973 and 1982 in his cabin studio, and were a precursor to his famed American Recordings; these are intimate sessions of a man and his guitar, singing songs and telling stories about them.
