Description
• First-ever collection of the earliest, original Lone Justice’s demos
• On CD and 45 RPM 12” EP
• Mastered and lacquers cut by Bernie Grundman
• Notes and track-by-track commentary from Marvin Etzioni.

“Maria & I woodshedded for almost a year before we were ready to take the music we had uncovered out into the clubs. This is the original line-up of Lone Justice.” —Ryan Hedgecock

Musician and producer Marvin Etzioni first saw Maria McKee and Ryan Hedgecock in a club in 1982, playing George Jones and Hank Williams covers. He convinced them they needed original material. After working and writing, the band added Dave Harrington (bass) and Don Willens (drums), the band worked up material with Etzioni and cut 5 of the 6 tracks at the famed Record Plant. An earlier session provides the 6th track. The Western Tapes: 1983 exhibits the genesis of this highly-influential band. While the original demo version of “Drugstore Cowboy” has appeared on various compilations, the remainder of the other tracks from the sessions have remained in the can. Two of the tracks appear in their earliest demo form and wound up landing on the classic 1985 Lone Justice debut, “Working Late” and “Don’t Toss Us Away” (written by Maria’s half-brother, Bryan MacLean of the classic band, Love) which would eventually become a top 5 smash for Country superstar Patty Loveless. Released in conjunction with the band, the 12" and CD EP were mastered by Bernie Grundman (who also cut the 45 RPM lacquers). It’s a look into where they started and foretells where they would go. As Etzioni (who would later join the band) says in his liner notes: “With countless hours together, it was a fun and innocent time. I believed we were creating a 21st century country band.” They created much, much more.

Tracklist
1. Working Late
2. The Train
3. Don't Toss Us Away
4. Drugstore Cowboy
5. I See It
6. How Lonesome Life Has Been

Looks like this was released in 2014. I suppose this is a reissue.

I still suspect that dsl is right & this is a reissue of the 1983 demos cd previously on Omnivore. Please let us know!

This is a separate release from the previous Omnivore collection. It's more demos, though, and only 6 tracks -- including "Drugstore Cowboy" as previously released on the 1999 This World Is Not My Home compilation.

Details are in the first post and the Amazon pre-order links will be active soon. (That line in the description has been corrected to read "the classic 1985 Lone Justice debut", not 1988.)

I believe the title of this thread has been changed which would make my post earlier incorrect.

The thread was originally posted as The Western Tapes, 1983 and hasn't been changed. The previous Omnivore release, the one you posted about, was The Vaught Tapes, 1983.

Don't worry about it, David. Both titles are sourced from 1983, so they're easy to mix up. For all we know, Omnivore might even have a third batch of 1983 recordings waiting in the wings.

David (and everyWAN), look! That hoped-for third batch of Lone Justice recordings from 1983 has been scheduled for release by Omnivore just a month after The Western Tapes -- this time it's a live show:
