Cash, Johnny - Complete Mercury Albums 1986-1991

NEW VINYL LP BOX ON UNIVERSAL 2020

9 X 180 GRAM VINYL.

In 1986, after almost 30 years on Columbia Records, Country music legend Johnny Cash released his first album on Mercury Records ¨C Class Of ¡¯55, in collaboration with fellow Sun Records alumni Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins. Seven years later, his last recording before signing with Rick Rubin¡¯s American Recordings would be another collaboration, ¡°The Wanderer¡±, with U2. In the years that span those recordings, Johnny Cash released a total of six albums for Mercury. Despite significant focus and attention around his Columbia and American recordings, his Mercury catalogue has never been revisited¡­ until now. UMe / Mercury Records are proud to announce that April 2020 will see the release of Johnny Cash: The Complete Mercury Studio Albums (1986-1991) ¨Ca 7LP boxed set featuring newly remastered audio for the very first time, using the original Mercury master tapes. Notably, the album Classic Cash: Hall Of Fame Series is presented in a 2LP format for the very first time. All the LPs are pressed on 180g vinyl for the highest quality audio fidelity and the box includes a MP3 download voucher. With brand new liner notes by music writer Scott Schinder, Johnny Cash: The Complete Mercury Studio Recordings (1986-1991) represents the very first deep dive into the Country music legend¡¯s Mercury catalogue, and reveals its importance as the bridge between his better known catalogues on Columbia and American.
