The 1968 debut album from celebrated Chicago-based guitarist Terry Callier will officially be reissued on CD, hi-res digital in both 96/24-bit quality and 192/24-bit quality, and for the first time on vinyl October 19 when Los Angeles' Craft Recordings reissues The New Folk Sound Of Terry Callier. The album originally recorded on one afternoon in 1964 but not released until four years later when a copy of the almost-lost master was rediscovered is unique in that it features just an acoustic guitar and two bass players.

The New Folk Sound of Terry Callier (originally on Prestige Records) conveys the promise and power of Callier in his earliest days. It's a document marking a particular moment, capturing a young man in his element, his voice and soul, jazz and folk-infused songs timeless. This new version includes five previously unreleased alternate takes ("900 Miles", "Promenade In Green", "It's About Time" and "Be My Woman") along with two tracks making their vinyl debut ("Jack O'Diamonds" and "Golden Apples of the Sun"), as well as new liner notes by Jason P. Woodbury which help narrate this lost gem.

Committing to tape a series of folk standards, the 1964 session paired Callier's deep blue voice and acoustic guitar with two bassists, Terbour Attenborough and John Tweedle. Though the material retains its traditional roots, the peculiar configuration of instrumentalists, inspired by John Coltrane's work with two bassists, nods toward Callier's jazz leanings as does his forlorn phrasing. The album went missing however, when producer Samuel Charters absconded to Mexico with the masters. The album was finally released by Prestige years later in 1968.
