John Hartford Collection On Disc December 4th.

Back in October of 2011 folkies and John Hartford fans were ecstatic about the digital release of two of John’s most classic recordings (see story).  Now, a year later, the complete Warner Bros. Recordings Aereo-Plain and Morning Bugle are available on compact disc

Two of the finest and most significant country /folk albums of the ‘70s, John Hartford’s Aereo-Plain and Morning Bugle are being re-issued by Real Gone Music with a new collection,  Aereo-Plain/Morning Bugle—the Complete Warner Bros. Recordings.

It’s a two-CD, 35-track set that includes four unreleased tracks on each album. Liner notes are by music critic Andrew Vaughan, and the Hartford family has generously contributed photos from John’s private collection.
