Rare Version of Jim Croce Classics Set For Release

07/11/2014
. (Glass Onyon) Jim Croce's "Lost Time In A Bottle," a 24-track collection of rare versions of all his greatest hit songs, is set to be released on CD on July 22nd. A two disc vinyl version will be released at a later date. We were sent these details:

"Lost Time In A Bottle," will feature rare versions of classic Croce songs including "Time In A Bottle," "Operator," "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" and "I Got A Name."

Between the years 1966 and 1973, Croce released a mere five studio albums and 11 singles, 2 of which made it to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. Sadly, we lost this incredible artist on September 20, 1973. His body of work however has lived on in a timeless state as new fans and old have embraced the incredible songwriting that has made him into the legend that he is today.

Included on Lost Time In A Bottle, is a previously unreleased radio concert from Cazenovia College in 1964. Recorded near the beginning of Jim's career, it is a marvelous showcase of the storytelling skills and sparkling personality that the world would soon come to love.
