Contest: Win a copy of the triple-vinyl reissue of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s ‘Will the Circle Be Unbroken’

**NOTE: This contest is now closed. Thanks to everyone for entering!

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band have just reissued – on high-quality vinyl – their seminal 1972 release Will the Circle Be Unbroken and we’d like to give away copies to three lucky ND community members. 

From the press release:

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s seminal 1972 Americana album, Will the Circle be Unbroken, has been remastered from the original analog tapes for a deluxe 40th Anniversary 3LP vinyl and high definition digital HDtracks edition, to be released March 12 by Capitol Nashville. Overseen by the band and including a new liner notes essay by the Dirt Band’s John McEuen, the commemorative edition features the original, Platinum-certified triple album on 180-gram vinyl, presented in faithfully restored gatefold packaging with an exclusive poster. The new release, remastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering, marks the first-ever vinyl and high definition digital audio reissue of one of Americana’s most influential recordings.

…Recorded live over six consecutive days at Woodland Sound Studios in Nashville, Will the Circle be Unbroken is a timeless feat of studio collaboration, bringing together accomplished country songwriters and musicians from two generations for a cohesive album that is both steeped in tradition and pioneering in its form, ushering in the new Americana style and remaining a font of musical influence to this day. In 2005, the album was selected for the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress, joining an esteemed group of essential American recordings which “are culturally, historically, or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States.”

Three winners will be chosen – two will receive a regular copy of the vinyl release and the grand prize winner will receive an autographed copy signed by Jeff Hanna, Jimmie Fadden, and John McEuen.
