Almost two years have passed since the 19th edition of the Blue Rose Collection series was released in April 2024. Now, finally, number 20 is here. In selecting the 15 songs, we’ve included numerous picks from albums spanning 30 years of Blue Rose Records, as well as previously unreleased tracks from artists like Bottle Rockets, Big In Iowa, and Slobberbone. Alejandro Escovedo is also represented with a track that is only available on the „Official Blue Rose Bootleg“ album, which, incidentally, is now available again through the webstore.
As with the previous issue, every customer ordering four or more items will automatically receive this issue No. 20 free of charge. However, this free copy will not be included with any further orders of four or more items, unless the customer explicitly requests another free copy. Alternatively, a copy of Blue Rose Collection Nos. 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, or 19, or a copy of any of the remaining available issues of the Blue Rose Nuggets series, can be requested. These requests can be made in the comment field in the shopping cart before submitting the order.
Of course, this 20th issue of the Blue Rose Collection series can also be purchased for €5.00.
