Nice fresh looking vinyl, a classic album that deserves more attention. Featuring several of the most prominent session musicians in the Dylan/Young/Band/Cash world, and recorded in Nashville (area code 615 natch). These guys ploughed the furrows that the megastars strode in and without them they wouldn't have had the success they did. Only fair that they should occasionally let loose on their own..
Much like Crazy Horse's albums, and to some extend, the Band, these increasingly rare albums are where you'll find the true musicians music.
Musical chops? Not a duff note in the house. Just check this pretty accurate review by Matthew reenwald in Allmusic.com:

This is a legendary record recorded by a legendary group of musicians. Area Code 615 was, as the name implies, the location of Cinderella Studios in Nashville (Madison, to be exact). The session players who recorded there are some of the greatest unsung heroes in popular music: Weldon Myrick (pedal steel), Bobby Thompson (banjo), Buddy Spicher (fiddle), Mac Gayden and Wayne Moss (lead guitar), Charlie McCoy (harp), Ken Buttrey (drums), David Briggs (piano), and Norbert Putnam (bass). These players performed miracles on hundreds of records, including those by Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, the Beau Brummels, Ian & Sylvia, and countless others. This, their "group" debut, is a timeless excursion into all forms of music. The record contains a lot (for then) of contemporary covers, such as an awe-inspiring version of "Hey Jude" that, in some ways, builds in intensity as much as the Beatles' version. It's soul, rock, and country at its finest, and ironically sounds as though it was a possible blueprint for Joe Cocker/Leon Russell's Mad Dogs & Englishmen project. Aside from the general power and groove, all of the solos are spectacular, especially Charlie McCoy and Mac Gayden's performances on "Nashville 9 - NY 1." Gayden is particularly impressive, often sounding like a visiting Eric Clapton in 1969. It's that good. Buttrey and Putnam, though, are the real stars here, laying down the most solid, knee-deep funk and soul that you will ever hear. Absolutely awesome. Friends, this is one stone gas. (and it's a very nice copy!!)

I'm not really a record dealer - this is more of a hobby for me.
I am selling this perfectly good record because I record the music and sell it on. I keep hi-resolution vinyl 'rips' made on audiophile equipment.
The recordings can be listened to on dvd-audio discs or through hi-resolution sound-cards.
