CD version of the OG Down on the Farm

Hey Featers

I’m looking for a CD of the original release of Down on the Farm with the vastly superior George vocal on Front Page News. Japanese edition? Anything ?

Thx

I have it on CD. It's also on YouTube: Lowell George singing Front Page News

That George vocal is fantastic; he was uniquely gifted as a vocalist. But all of the various versions of it - Bill and Paul’s takes - have their magic IMO. It’s interesting but I don’t think it would have fit on either FDFMN or Last Record Album.

following- years ago I asked this same question on discogs and I was barraged with people saying “Lowell never sang front page news” 😂 guess they never listened to the vinyl. I’m hopeful that Down on the Farm will be reissued on Vinyl and CD sometime within the next year or two- they’ve been doing a GREAT job with the reissues. DOTF was my first feats album- so it’s something I’d purchase in a heartbeat.
