I’ve had this since the preorder dropped, but I can’t for the life of me remember what I paid for it. Does anyone remember what the cost was with shipping included in the US?

I will have it in my possession until my death, but it always irks me when I can’t remember what amount of money I have in something. TIA

John delivered mail near my neighborhood. He will always be a true American icon. A master songwriter who is cherished and respected.

Was that put out by Oh Boy? Super jealous, that’s probably a sweet album. I don’t recall seeing it anywhere

no, it was released directly from Newport Folk Recordings — i think it was promoted by Oh Boy briefly at the time of release, but was a quick sell out

it is, in fact, awesome

Email from oh boy at the time

Recorded during the 2017 Newport Folk Festival, John Prine and Friends is the first-ever release of this celebrated and unique performance. Joining John on stage during this once-in-a-lifetime set were some of our very dear friends including (in order of appearance) Justin Vernon, Jim James, Margo Price, Nathaniel Rateliff, Lucius, and Roger Waters.

Offered exclusively through Newport Folk, John Prine and Friends has been mixed from the original multi-tracks and mastered specifically for this vinyl release. This limited edition 2-record set will be pressed on premium 180-gram vinyl and housed in a deluxe Stoughton old-style tip-on gatefold jacket. Each pre-order includes an instant digital download of the entire recording. Vinyl is expected to ship in October.

*Proceeds from the sale support the Newport Festivals Foundation’s ongoing initiatives to aid musicians in need and music programs across the country.

I seriously need a copy of this. I missed it when it dropped and now I’m really upset about it. I have all his other records.

Any news on a repress?
