JIMMY WEBB - A LIFE IN WORDS AND MUSIC

• Jimmy Webb: A Life In Words And Music
      (2025, 7cd, UK, cherry red records)

“A Life In Words And Music” is a seven-CD box set from Cherry Red Records that collects five albums that Jimmy Webb did for the Reprise label in the 1970s, along with bonus material.
It has just been released. I received my copy about a week ago.

Jimmy Webb performed FZ’s ‘My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama’ in concert at The Royal Albert Hall in London in 1972.
A recording of this concert, including the Zappa piece, got released as part of the Rhino Handmade “The Moon’s Harsh Mistress” box set in 2004, and as a part of the “Archive + Live” 2 CD set in 2005.
The concert is also included in this “A Life In Words And Music” 7 CD box set.

The box set includes 7 CDs, all housed in a cardboard record sleeve: “Words And Music”, “And So: On”, “Letters”, “Land’s End”, “El Mirage”, “Outtakes And Demos”, and “Live At The Royal Albert Hall”, accompanied by a 16-page booklet.

Lots of great stuff, including the Zappa piece !!
