Not even most Croce fans know these first recordings of Jim's, from his self-published 1966 album. Story was his parents gave Jim & Ingrid $500 as a wedding gift, and he used it to fund Facets. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Life long Croce fan and just found this! Cheers!
Just like the faces ive been, bur yo no adrian earlier
It was fifty years ago today (September 20, 2023) that Jim Croce died. RIP.
RECORDED AT RPL STUDIOS IN CAMDEN, NEW JERSEY IN JULY OF 1966 BY THE 23 YEAR OLD CROCE, THIS PRIVATE PRESSING WAS LIMITED TO A RUN OF 500.
i miss him and maury big time. the first time i met him was in 71 at frank foleys where i was living in my van. jim and ingrid were sittng on a blanket and he was playing and singing. he and ingrid did some great songs. when aj recently did some of jims music his voice sounded like jim. it is as if it was yesterday but coming on to 50 years
Beautiful and haunting, 50 years in September since he left us.
Thank You for sharing!
Class is permanent and immortal I hope.An artist for the Ages.Wish his family all the best!.
The irony that his parents paid for this album as a wedding gift - in the hope it would end his desire for a career in music !
Gunga Din..... mein Lieblingslied aus den 70ern. Jedes Wort, jeden Ton kann ich noch mitsingen. Danke!
I challenge all to find an album more evocative of Croce's home state; Pennsylvania.
I personally feel "Railroads and Riverboats" should be our state anthem.
awesome album from the legend jim croce his self published 1966 album, love this one. so magic and a shame he died so young he should still be here. great singer and magic acoustic guitar player.
OMG Jim Croce is the best
My kind friend I miss❤🎄
the reverb on the vocals is cool . This is the one album by him I cant track down.
I think you mean vibrato.
Well on the bright side you tracked it down here!
@@thelatearthurmorgan6158 No, he means reverb.
Been a fan from '73 this is new to me as well thanks.
what was it like seeing him on TV?
Thanks for sharing these Jim Croce recordings. As old as they are, they're new to me.
I must say, I’m impressed hearing Jim singing folk style, reminiscent of Peter, Paul and Mary, Gordon Lightfoot and so many others that popularized this wonderful music. He sounds perfectly at ease, it seems to have been a natural for him. I like it just as much as his later recordings, i.e. “Bad Bad Leroy Brown”, “You don’t mess around with Jim”, et al.
Jim wanted to be the American Lightfoot. Many of his songs are about similar themes such as the railroads. Jim, Gordon and Kris are my holy trinity of male artists. Jim gone nearly 50 years but Gordon and Kris still going. I saw Kris in Glasgow in 2019. No big show with flashing lights and a big background; just an artist singing his songs to an appreciative and spellbound audience. Magic.
wonderful! What a rare recording. Thanks very much for uploading!!!
I'm glad I found this so young. I gotta show my sis.
Love this album which I’ve never heard of by an artist I cherish!
The beginnings of a genius. Beautiful.
So thrilled to find this! He was here for so short a time. Such a shame.
This is a great album. Wonderful songs.
my friend redkruzer was one of jims best friends. he did a video of child of midnight with the covered bridge a the end of the road in birchrunville.i lived in my van there until jim and maury died. we had some great gatherings, again like yesterday.
Legend.
👍👍👍👍 I never heard these songs before. Great!
Thanks for posting. Didn't find out about this album until I read Croce's Wikipedia page, haha.
Likewise.
Wow, thank you so much for putting this out here! I read about it on wiki and was surprised to find it. What a joy. Jim was gone too soon, but we were lucky to have him for a time.
I am glad I have the original vinyl, and it sounds great, as the album was well preserved, but this is not too bad either.The Ballad of Gunga Din is fabulous, as well as Steel Rail Blues.
The original vinyl is very rare and valuable.
That's true it is, and I paid handsomely for it. Another one recently sold on EBay for just over $500.
It's going real cheap on Ebay now.
That would be the CD. I have seen ones for as little as $24.99, and have one sealed. The vinyl is rare, as only 500 were ever pressed. Those are expensive, but the sound quality is so much better, and it is pressed from the only master tape, so you have the closest thing to the real recording as you will ever get in the vinyl. The CD is well done, and adds a lot of other songs too.
@@halnoyes4371 Wow! I'm very jealous-just tried to find a copy online and there are none to be found. I hope whoever owns those original 500 are taking very good care of them!
18 tracks on a self published album. If only it were that way today. You'll be lucky for an artist to put 10 down.
The original release had 11. 8 of which were covers, and "Gunga Din" words are by Kipling. Croce just wrote the music. I'm not saying this isn't a fantastic album, I'm just saying it isn't exactly like Jim went into the studio, laid down 18 solo songs and walked out.
Only ever heard a couple of these songs before. Really really liked The Blizzard.
A gem of an oyster in my life stew@ Gregory♥️ William Reid
Some of these songs sound Irish influenced.
Thank you for uploading; each song is incredible & blew my mind!
Thank you croce songs I hadn't heard before -- except a few, and gosh he looks wierd w.out his mustache.
A Lenda, Jim Croce
More awesomeness!
sockman95 where do you live and did you get to spend time with him. i still get emotional listening
Steel Rail blues is an old Gordon Lightfoot composition.
+Rm M gordon lightfoot is anothert great musician
Very good.
thanks dear
I wish we had a better quality recording
THANK YOU!!!!!
awesome
I was listening to "Jolene" by Dolly the other day and was wondering where I heard similar musical vibes recently....and it's 100% The Ballad of Gunga Din! And oddly when listening to a few songs in this album it's making me think of Jack Black in Tenacious D and I'm wondering if he took some inspiration from some folksy ballads like these 😂
I hear that connection more in It’s Over Mary Anne. Love to see people enjoying this music!
I guess he traveled the country singing for a while...till he hit ...
🎄❤🎄
Some songs on here would fit well on the New Vegas radio.
Gunga Din. yes, pronounced 'deen'
just 100 yards from mary ann...
Is that Jim Croce playing the banjo on "Running Maggie" ?
Wikipedia says that a Karl Fehrenbach plays Banjo on all tracks.
Is there any store that offers a way to digitally purchase this album? I see that some used copies of the CD are available but no digital option.
You can buy it on itunes.
Robert Batten CD files ARE digital.
+C. A. G. You know what he means smartass
Or C. A. G. doesn't know what he means; in which case he's a dumbass.
Amazon
Umm... there seems to be no sound here.
any chance you can upload separately?
I already did.
We used to play Jim Croce songs during our sessions with my friends. All of them are great songs.
somebody wanted him to compete with Paul Simon in the looks I guess. His wife sounds like Joan Baez.
She does but sometimes I hear Ian and Syvia.
Jim & Ingrid ,Maury certainly loved music and we are certainly blessed to have these recoordings,god bless, and RIp.
