notes

Reissue of the original America LP which was intentionally a double LP but released as a single LP because Fahey believed a double album wouldn't sell. Tracks 1-9 are the unreleased tracks, tracks 10-13 make up the original LP.

Track 11 "Mark 1:15" was cut by two minutes from the original runtime, to allow the entire program to fit on a single disc.

Recorded January 31, 1971 at Larrabee Sound, Los Angeles, CA. Remastered in 1998 at Fantasy Studios, Berkeley.

On backcover:
℗ & © 1998, Fantasy, Inc.

On CD:
℗ 1998, Fantasy, Inc.

Tracks 2 & 5 by P.D.

Comes in a standard jewel case with an 8-page accordion folded booklet.
Total playing time 79:15.
