Excited to announce the upcoming reissue of Lowell’s only solo album by rock and roll singer-songwriter his debut solo effort. “Thanks, I’ll Eat It Here” by Lowell George is to be released as a “Deluxe Edition”, A 2 record set for Record Store Day on Saturday, April 20, 2024. While George is best known for his work with the band Little Feat, by 1977 Lowell felt that they were moving increasingly into jazz-rock, a form in which he felt little interest. As a result, he began working on his own album. “Thanks I’ll Eat It Here” is an eclectic mix of styles reminiscent of Little Feat’s earlier albums – in particular “Dixie Chicken”, on which the track “Two Trains” originally appeared.
The release will be 3,500 units, only available on vinyl for now. A CD release will only be considered if there is a demand for it and this package sells out immediately. . Released weeks before his untimely death in 1979, this exclusive Record Store Day reissue Includes the original album cut from the original master tapes and a bonus album including previously unreleased alternate versions and outtakes from the recording sessions plus liner notes from the George family.
Originally released on Warner Brothers Records, this Rhino Records release looks to be very nice. Darryl Norsen did the layout, cleaning up the cover art by Neon Park, adding the additional outtake and alternate takes to the track listing on the back cover while maintaining the original design elements. He also gave the sleeve inserts a facelift. Huge props go out to Jason Jones, Director of A & R and Mark Pinkus, President of Rhino Entertainment Company
