Fascinating thread. You can count me in also as a long-time fan of Gram Parsons and the original Burritos. My favourites are 'Gilded Palace' and 'Grievous Angel'. In his most recent newsletter, my country music supplier here in Oz had this item:

Gram Parsons - "Another Side of This Life - Lost Recordings 1965-1966" A$32 (Sundazed) Firstly this bears no relation to that horrible set of supposed unreleased recordings that appeared on the dodgy Sundown label. The sound here is excellent being recorded on state of the art (for 1965) reel to reel. The 18 songs include a lot of covers including Fred Neil, Tim Hardin, Hamilton Camp & Buffy Saint-Marie. There is also 5 Parsons originals including an early version of one of his signature tunes, "Brass Buttons".

I have not heard it, but I have it on order. I recall that Village Records in the US advertised it in their December 2000 mailer:

Village Records December Mailer
