Although it's all but unknown outside of a devoted cult following, Terry Allen's second album, 1979's Lubbock (On Everything), is one of the finest country albums of all time, a progenitor of what would eventually be called alt-country. This is country music with a wink and a dry-as-West-Texas-dust sense of humor, but at heart, Lubbock (On Everything) is a thoughtful meditation on Allen's hometown. Recorded in Lubbock after Allen hadn't lived there for close to a decade with a small group headed by local legends Don Caldwell and Lloyd Maines, the songs alternate between biting character studies like "Lubbock Woman" and "The Great Joe Bob (A Regional Tragedy)," about a high school football star who ends up robbing a liquor store, and more loving tributes like "The Thirty Years War" and "The Wolfman of Del Rio." Salted through are a handful of songs about the pretensions of the art world (something Allen knows well in his day job as a sculptor and painter) that help keep the album's more cutting lines from sounding mean-spirited. A 20-song masterpiece, Lubbock (On Everything) is essential listening for anyone with an interest in the outer fringes of country music.

 (EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY STEWART MASON, ALL MUSIC GUIDE  /ALLMUSIC.COM/)

The legendary Texas-based singer-songwriter recorded this 1979 masterpiece of dry country, sardonic wit and intensely poetic imagery on his ill-fated "Fate" records in 1979. The original album barely sold a few thousand copies - mostly locally - and quickly became a cult classic and a major collectors’ item (and for good reason: singing and songwriting does not get any better or more passionate than this). In 1992, Sugar Hill label released the album on a compact disc and, sure enough, it too has been out of print and unavailable for years. The songs are: Amarillo Highway - Highplains Jamboree - The Great Joe Bob - The Wolfman of Del Rio - Lubbock Woman - The girl who danced Oklahoma - Truckload of Art (my personal favorite) - The collector (and the art mob) - Oui (a French song) - Rendevouz USA - Cocktails for Three - The Beautiful Waitress - Blue Asian Reds - New Delhi Freight Train - FFA - Flatland Farmer - My Amigo - The Pink and Black Song - The 30-year walts - I just left myself. This may be your final chance to own one of the best pieces of country Americana the 1970’s have given us. Forget about Joe Ely or Kinky Friedman. This is Texas at its best.

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)            WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)            The records are pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)             Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
