The Early Vinyl

The Early Vinyl

Kings of Leon burst out of the rural South and into the international consciousness with their distinct, unpolished style of garage rock. Each of their early albums subsequently embraced and perfected this music, becoming the band s trademark sound for the first part of their career. While the Kings eventually began to experiment with other genres and sonic exploration, these first three albums represent a family-band of young, hungry musicians paying tribute to their influences, from the raw guitar of Thin Lizzy to the southern-fried Allman Brothers Band, with all the swagger of the Stones. This deluxe vinyl box set includes remastered LPs of Youth and Young Manhood, Aha Shake Heartbreak, and Because of the Times, as well as a full album of rarities from the period surrounding these albums including four previously unreleased live performances.<br><br>Kings of Leon The Early Vinyl box set features the band's first three albums on gatefold double LP, plus a single bonus LP with rare content, contained in a beautiful, numbered lift-off box.
