I'm selling my personal record collection in preparation for moving.  I do not ship internationally or to Alaska, Hawaii, US Protectorates or APO/FPO addresses.
Sleepless Nights is a posthumous compilation album by Gram Parsons. Though credited to Parsons and his former band The Flying Burrito Brothers, the band appear on only nine of the album's twelve tracks. The album features no original songs; the majority are covers of vintage country songs with the exception of The Rolling Stones' song "Honky Tonk Women".

The songs that comprise Sleepless Nights were collected from two sources. In early 1970, the Flying Burrito Brothers, featuring Parsons, recorded several songs for an anticipated no-nonsense country album. The album was ultimately never released due to Parsons’ departure from the band. Nine of Sleepless Nights’ tracks come from these sessions. The remaining three songs are from the summer 1973 sessions for Grievous Angel, Parsons’ final solo album, and feature duets with Emmylou Harris on the Everly Brothers' song "Brand New Heartache," the gospel-esque "The Angels Rejoiced Last Night", and Boudleaux Bryant's "Sleepless Nights".

The album has received mixed reviews. Robert Christgau noted that the songs “were outtakes for a reason”, but nonetheless gave the album a B- rating. Some of the highest praise for the album is due to the inclusion of the three tracks featuring Harris and omitted from the 1973 album Grievous Angel; "Sleepless Nights" (allegedly the original title for the Grievous Angel album), "The Angels Rejoiced Last Night" and "Brand New Heartache".
