John Prine / Crooked Piece of Time: The Atlantic and Asylum Albums 1971-1980

Remastered 7CD box set

John Prine / The Atlantic and Asylum Years 7CD box set


Rhino will next month issue Crooked Piece of Time: The Atlantic and Asylum Albums 1971-1980, a seven-CD box set featuring the 1970s output of the late American country/folk singer-songwriter John Prine.

This set includes remastered versions of the first seven studio albums of his career, recorded with Atlantic Records and Asylum Records. These  are:

  • John Prine (1971)
  • Diamonds In The Rough (1972)
  • Sweet Revenge (1973)
  • Common Sense (1975)
  • Bruised Orange (1978)
  • Pink Cadillac (1979)
  • Storm Windows (1980)



These come in card sleeves which reside in a clamshell box. This also contains poster inserts and a 20-page booklet with new liner notes written by Mr Sleeve Notes himself, David Fricke. The beautiful cover art was commissioned especially for the set, and is a painting by artist Joshua Petker (based on a photo of Prine taken by Jim Shea).

Crooked Piece of Time: The Atlantic and Asylum Albums 1971-1980 will be released on 23 October 2020.
