April 5 street date. In conjunction with the publication, by Hachette Books, of "Truckload of Art: The Life and Work of Terry Allen", an authorized biography by Brendan Greaves of Paradise of Bachelors, "Gonna California" imagines an alternate reality where Terry Allen's long-lost first studio recordings, captured with a full band in LA in 1968, saw a proper release. (Instead nearly the entire pressing was destroyed by a fire set by the so-called "Hollywood Arsonist", and remaining copies were repurposed in artworks). This first-ever (re)issue edition, limited to 500 copies, features recently rediscovered and remastered early (and superior) mixes of both songs; the original liner notes by Allen; an excerpt from the book; a lyrics insert; and Allen's contemporaneous visual art in an arresting gatefold jacket.
