The Bottom Line:
Ellie Rhee finally out of prison.
Seven bonus tracks give more insight in this classic JM album. Five of them originate from a 1975 John Peel session.
Carry me back to Tennessee..
Twelve page booklet included with sleevenotes by John Hillarby.
That's where I long to be..
The CD is printed in Island pink label design. This is not quite correct as Inside Out originally had a pink rim label.
