Iron & Wine - Archive Series Volume No.1

16 previously unreleased 4-track cassette home recordings

Gatefold double LP includes album download

Archive Series Volume No. 1 is the first in a series. Sam Beam will be gathering otherwise unreleased home recordings, covers, live sets, and curiosities from his entire career as Iron And Wine and releasing them on his own label — Black Cricket Recordings Co. The songs on Volume No. 1 came to life at the same times as those selected for Iron And Wine's debut album, The Creek Drank The Cradle.

Performed and recorded at home on a 4-track cassette, some of this material has been widely bootlegged, but has never had a widespread or proper release.
