Following Warren Zevon's death in 2003, his son, Jordon Zevon, discovered 126 unreleased outtakes and demos in a piano-sized touring case. This 2LP-set collects the best of those recordings. Originally issued in 2007, Preludes: Rare and Unreleased Recordings served as the first posthumous Zevon release. It features 16 unreleased recordings from Zevon's personal archives, as well as six never-before released songs and a five-part 2000 interview with KGSR's Jody Denberg. This reissue includes all of the exclusive bonus tracks as well as a beautiful 20-page perfect bound book, all packaged in a hardbound slipcase.
