  • This is a compilation of two of the greatest landmark albums in the history of recorded music, "Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music" and "Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music, Volume Two".

  • Neither record has ever been played.
  • They are First Pressings of the compilation. The matrix run outs are 1A, 1B, 1A &1B.
  • The paper on heavy board gatefold cover has tight seams, a stiff spine and shows no wear.

  • This is a one-owner that Seller got in 1973. It has been in storage for 42 years.

Regarded by many critics as Charles's best studio album, Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music has been considered by several music writers to be a landmark album in American music. The album's integration of soul and country music bent racial barriers in popular music, amid the height of the African-American civil rights struggle. In the process of recording the album, Charles became one of the first African-American musicians to exercise complete artistic control over his own recording career. The album has been called one of the greatest albums of all time by publications such as Rolling Stone and Time.

All tracks were produced by Ray Charles and Sid Feller.
