EXTD=h be told, Reprise's 1990 single-disc two-fer of Gram Parsons' two solo albums -- 1973's G.P. and 1974's Grievous Angel -- was for most intents and purposes as close to The Complete Reprise Sessions as Rhino's triple-disc set of the same name. Parso
EXTD=ns only recorded two full solo albums before his death in 1973, never living to see the release of the second one, and he didn't leave too much behind in the vaults, which were plundered in 1976 for Sleepless Nights and, in addition to an appealingl
EXTD=y shambling, laconic, and lazy 1970 jam by the Flying Burrito Brothers, also contained three outtakes from the Grievous Angel sessions: "Brand New Heartache," "Sleepless Nights," and "The Angels Rejoiced Last Night," all included here. These were th
EXTD=e only fully formed songs that didn't make the album, and the other outtakes were simply alternate takes of songs that did appear on the two albums. All of these alternate takes are gathered together on the third disc of The Complete Reprise Session
EXTD=s. The first two discs are devoted to G.P. and Grievous Angel respectively -- two albums that were previously illustrated to fit quite well together on a single disc, but are now separated. These two discs do have bonus tracks, but they're not exact
EXTD=ly enticing: a radio promo for G.P., plus promotional interviews that are neither revealing nor particularly engaging. Cut out the interviews and the two albums could have been put on one disc and then the second disc could have been devoted to outt
EXTD=akes, and the streamlining would have made this more attractive, particularly because the third disc on The Complete Reprise Sessions is not all that enticing. There are some good moments here, including a duet with Barry Tashian on "Kiss the Childr
EXTD=en," but the alternate takes aren't all that different; in fact, in every case they quite clearly prove that the best take did indeed make the finished album. Of course, any Parsons fanatic won't really care that these alternate takes aren't that in
EXTD=teresting; he left behind so few recordings that his devoted fans will eagerly devour any newly discovered unreleased material, even if they know it's mediocre, which the unreleased material on this collection most assuredly is -- enjoyable, but med
EXTD=iocre all the same -- which the compilers most assuredly knew as they were assembling this collection. Given this, it would have been fairer to those devoted fans to present this as a double-disc set instead of a three-disc box -- after all, there a
EXTD=re only two CDs' worth of music here -- but instead, Parsons' complete Reprise recordings are spread out over this inflated triple-disc set. And while the devoted will be happy with the remastering and the unreleased material, the simple fact of the
EXTD= matter is that all of his great music was collected on that 1990 two-fer, and that's the CD that anybody with an interest in Parsons, country-rock, country music, or American music of the 20th century should own. Not this good but bloated set.  -- 
EXTD=Stephen Thomas Erlewine\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: (''GP'') Given Gram Parsons' habit of taking control of the bands he played with (and his disinclination towards staying with them for very long), it was inevitable that he would eventually strike out on
EXTD= his own, and his first solo album, 1973's G.P., is probably the best realized expression of his musical personality. Working with a crack band of L.A. and Nashville's finest (including James Burton on guitar, Ronnie Tutt on drums, Byron Berline on 
EXTD=fiddle, and Glen D. Hardin on piano), he drew from them a sound that merged breezy confidence with deeply felt Southern soul, and he in turn pulled off some of his most subtle and finely detailed vocal performances; "She" and "A Song for You," in pa
EXTD=rticular, are masterful examples of passion finding balance with understatement. Parsons also discovered that rare artist with whom he can be said to have genuinely collaborated (rather than played beside), Emmylou Harris; Gram and Harris' spot-on h
EXTD=armonies and exchanged verses on "We'll Sweep out the Ashes in the Morning" and "That's All It Took" are achingly beautiful and instantly established her as one country music's most gifted vocalists. On G.P., Parsons' ambitious vision encompassed ha
EXTD=rd-country weepers, wistful ballads, up-tempo dance tunes, and even horn-driven rhythm and blues. He managed to make them all work, both as individual tunes and as a unified whole. If it falls just short of being his greatest work (an honor that goe
EXTD=s to The Flying Burrito Bothers' The Gilded Palace of Sin) thanks to a couple songs that are a bit too oblique for their own good ("The New Soft Shoe" may be beautiful, but who knows just what it's supposed to be about), this album remains one that 
EXTD=is hauntingly and has only gotten better with the passing years.  -- Mark Deming\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: (''Grievous Angel'') Gram Parsons fondness for drugs and high living are said to have been catching up with him while he was recording Grievous An
EXTD=gel, and sadly he wouldn't live long enough to see it reach record stores, dying from a drug overdose in the fall of 1973. This album is a less ambitious and unified set than his solo debut, but that's to say that G.P. was a great album while Grievo
EXTD=us Angel was instead a very, very good one. Much of the same band that played on his solo debut were brought back for this set, and they perform with the same effortless grace and authority (especially guitarist James Burton and fiddler Byron Berlin

EXTD=ld be hard pressed to name an artist who made an album this strong only a few weeks before their death -- or at any time of their life, for that matter. -- Mark Deming\n\nAmazon.com Product Description\nSinger-songwriter Gram Parsons, the architect 
EXTD=of country-rock and patron saint of American roots music--"alt" and otherwise--died in 1973 at age 26, but the enormity of his influence remains constant. Florida-born and Georgia-bred, Parsons began playing at age 14 and launched his first group, t
EXTD=he International Submarine Band, in NYC in the late '60s. Transplanted to L.A., he joined the Byrds, shaping their landmark album Sweetheart Of The Rodeo, and made further musical history with the Flying Burrito Brothers. After discovering Emmylou H

EXTD=azing compilation is as close to seeing GP/Emmylou live as it gets. Fresh, unfettered,natural, intimate. Totally different versions and feelings from the antecedent CDs. \n"The New Soft Shoe" with the spare, alto fiddle gives the song an even more e

EXTD=der the Reprise Sessions immediately. The remastering is fantastic, the information booklet and pictures are great, and the hitherto unissued songs are out of this world. This collection far exceeds any other collection of Gram's works, including th

EXTD=d a golden throne. But he did so much more, all the bands that followed him from the Eagles to the New Riders Of the Purple Sage all owe him. Granted some of this music has been released before and unless you're a Gram fanatic you'd probably be happ
EXTD=y with the previous re-package of his 2 LPs. But everyone SHOULD be a Gram fanatic, the guy was amazing and his music with Emmy Lou is fabulous. I will take any odds and ends I can get on this wonderful musician, and these alternate takes are great.
EXTD= James Austin and his crew at Rhino did a super job of putting together a lovely boxset. They used some of my pictures (from Armadillo WHQ Austin) but that's not why it's a great package, it would be in any case. I wish there was more unreleased mus
EXTD=ic but I'm happy to get this great box set. Go buy it, you can't lose! \nThen go buy the DVD of his life, Fallen Angel, a well done documentary of a legendary musician and see what this white soul singer was all about.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\
EXTD=nA botched effort., July 1, 2006\nReviewer: Michael E. Flamm (Cincinnati, OH)\nFirst of all, let me say that the music in this collection is beautiful and essential. Having said that, I now feel it necessary to rant a little. This collection is ruin
EXTD=ed by poor sequencing. The flow of GP and Grievous Angel is ruined by the inclusion of interview tracks that the majority of buyers will probably only want to listen to once or twice at best. GP is especially infuriating because the interview track 
EXTD=is inbetween music tracks. If these interviews are important enough to be included (and I don't think they are), they should be on a separate disc. Here's what they should have done. \n\nDisc 1: GP \nDisc 2: Grievous Angel \nDisc 3: Alternate takes 
EXTD=(and maybe the interview tracks) \n\nIf they felt it necessary to add length to the first two discs, it would've been appropriate to include the alternate takes from the GP sessions on the first disc and the alternate takes from the Grievous Angel s
EXTD=essions on the second. Of course, had they done this, then there wouldn't have been anything left over for the third disc and they wouldn't have been able to charge $35 for the set. \n\nThis is clearly an attempt to wring some more money out of Gram
EXTD= Parsons' fans. GP and Grievous Angel are both readily available on one disc at well less than half the price of this box set. Buy that and save your money. If you already own that and still feel the need to buy some music, just get a couple Neal Ca
EXTD=sal CDs instead. \n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nFor collectors rather than first-timers or casual listeners, July 1, 2006\nReviewer: Rex Chickeneater "Rex Chickeneater" (Armenia)\nGram Parsons' music continues to inspires its listeners more than th
EXTD=ree decades since his death. Record buyers who are seeking an entry point should begin with the CD that combines his two solo albums, GP and Return of the Grievious Angel, onto one CD. It is usually sold for less than half of the price of "The Compl
EXTD=ete Reprise Session." Those two original albums comprise, in my humble opinion, the essential solo work of Gram Parsons. In addition, Harris never sounded as sweet as on these recordings, which must rank among the best country duets ever. \n\nThis n
EXTD=ewly issued collection does provide some fresh insights into Parsons & colleagues' creative processes. However, it is best suited to the tastes and desires of completists, those of us who welcome any new recordings by Parsons. Those who are less dri
EXTD=ven by Parsons Fever will probaby feel that the outtakes & interviews are not worthwhile, or at least not worth the extra money. In addition, the collection is to be given an "A" for effort, but a somewhat lower grade for accomplishment, in terms of
EXTD= production values. \n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nCash : For the record company Not the barrelhead, july 1, 2006\nReviewer: Jap (Maine / USA)\nGP/Grevious Angels is the greatest release of all time but this is a sloppy rip off.  Complete recording
EXTD=s?  Where is the track ''Brand New Heartache'' outtake?  Who wants an interview?  Gram's spoken voice was so irritating and corny.  The CD package will not fit in with your others and the LP sleeves will scratch the discs.  It could have all fit in 
EXTD=a tripple jewel case.  Are we that desperate for music?  There is such a lack of talent out there that we purchase outtakes and demos.  What next?  Will America buy a cookbook on how Martha got to her recipes?  I ask you if there were ten great new 
EXTD=releases as of days of old would you look back at this money grabbing joke or would you stick with the brilliant compact original?  If you are looking for a few good new releases, try the Proclaimers' ''Restless Soul,'' Marha Wainwright or Van Morri

EXTD=hristopher L. Dolmetsch (Hurricane, WV USA)\nHaving been treated to so many outstanding career retrospective CD boxsets over the past twenty-four years, we've come to expect several things from such compilations: 1. Remastered tracks; 2. Outtakes an
EXTD=d demos; 3. Insights into the creation of the music through studio chatter, false starts and mistakes; 4. Rarities and previously unreleased songs. How does this set stack up? It is reasonable in the first and second instance, but has nothing in the
EXTD= third and fourth areas. Do these things exist? Previous bootlegs and a rare out-of-print "Cosmic American Cowboy" collection say so. So, what we have are the two original Gram Parsons solo albums, an interesting and likely incomplete set of outtake
EXTD=s, and some teasers from interviews and radio performance. For the novice, this box is probably too much (stick with the previous Gram Parson anthology!) and for the diehard fan, there is just not enough.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nNecessary onl
EXTD=y for completists, June 25, 2006\nReviewer: Caesar Groan "The Kaiser" (West Pinball, Ohio)\nHearing Gram's voice always brings a smile to one's face, but this set is only essential for completist; there are no major revelations here. General listene

EXTD=this is an amazing issue. The first album, GP, is so well mastered the entire album sounds like an alternate version, but not in some jarring way, it's just that the wonderful musicians are so well articulated on this that the music seems new even i
EXTD=f you know it very well. It also reveals how shaky Gram's vocals were on a couple of cuts, but Gram shaky is like Billie Holiday shaky. The second LP is more familiar, but for instance the steel pedal guitar on "Love Hurts" is subtly augmented witho
EXTD=ut in any way stepping on the duet, which has never sounded so ethereal, the voice of a fallen angel merged with a soaring angel. So just to have the two LPs like this is worth the money. \n\nThe bonus material - the interviews are to the point and 
EXTD=fine. You get a sense of how oddly shy Gram was, and extremely sensitive, fragile. The acoustic radio session with a very spare "Love Hurts" and Emmylou, Gram and N.D. Smart on a wonderful "Sin City" is not great sound, but a treat all the same. And
EXTD= the third CD alternate takes, which are simpler and sometimes fresher, are like the Rolling Stones' outtakes, arguably superior to the issued cuts on a few songs. \n\nComplaints? Why are the three cuts left off "Grievous" stuck on the third disk in
EXTD=stead of extending what is acknowledged in the booklet as a short LP? Why only one of what are obviously several wonderful instrumental backing tracks from one of the greatest backup bands ever assembled, since this issue is obviously for Gram devot
EXTD=ees. There is at least an hour of unused CD space available. And most grievously, why not issue the two cuts that were tricked up with fake audience sounds 'naked' as bonus tracks? Lastly, why not put the two cuts remixed in the 80s on, rather than 
EXTD=a tiny note that they were excluded? The CDs, issued in LP repro cardboard covers, should also have inner sleeves to protect them, a good idea in the vinyl era and now. \n\nKivetch, kivetch, kivetch. It's a wonderful collection, hope something like
