Via Billboard Damn, this is the shit artsy music snobs who sit around smoking American Spirits in coffee shops dream of. Columbia/Legacy is getting ready to reissue the first three Leonard Cohen albums, bulking them up with unreleased tracks. Songs of Leonard Cohen will include two unfinished songs, "Blessed Is the Memory" and "Store Room." Songs from a Room features early versions of "Bird on a Wire" and "You Know Who I Am," the second with David Crosby singing harmony. And Songs of Love and Hate will have a radically different version of "Dress Rehearsal Rag." All three reissues hit store shelves on April 24.
woo hoo! Same last name as me. Go LC!
Hype Kills
That early version of "You Know Who I Am" sounds like a must-hear.
