Dixie Dregs - The Great Spectacular
Preorder due for release 29th November
Dixie Dregs’ private press debut album / Original recordings of Dregs classics that would be re-recorded for their Capricorn and Arista albums / First-ever LP reissue / White Vinyl - STEVE MORSE – Guitars / ANDY WEST – Bass Guitar / ALLEN SLOAN – Violin / ROD MORGENSTEIN – Drums - The Great Spectacular is Dixie Dregs’ original 1975 demo debut album, recorded at the University of Miami as a class project, pressed independently by the band, and distributed locally in limited quantities.
Yet The Great Spectacular also functions as a greatest hits of sorts, debuting tracks which would later be re-recorded across Dixie Dregs’ classic 1977-1980 Capricorn and Arista albums, as well as during guitarist/band leader Steve Morse’s stint in Kansas. It includes the first recordings of key Dregs tracks including “What If,” “Leprechaun Promenade,” “Holiday,” “Refried Funky Chicken,” “Country House Shuffle,” and more. Original copies of The Great Spectacular are rare collectors’ items.
