{"product_id":"john-hartford-aereo-plain-lp-7292026","title":"John Hartford - Aereo Plain - LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Hartford’s Aereo Plain from 1971 captures a unique moment where traditional bluegrass meets the freewheeling spirit of the early ’70s. This album’s blend of acoustic invention and playful lyrics, especially on tracks like \"Boogie,\" which found favor with Dr. Demento, helped lay the groundwork for what would become the newgrass movement. The lineup reads like a bluegrass supergroup, featuring Norman Blake, Vassar Clements, Tut Taylor, and Randy Scruggs, each bringing their distinctive touch to songs such as \"Steam Powered Aereo Plane\" and \"Presbyterian Guitar.\" Hartford’s aviator goggles on the cover hint at the album’s sky-high ambitions—sometimes you just have to wing it. This 1971 Pitman pressing offers a solid vintage listening experience on vinyl, with the record in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/blogs\/news\/how-we-grade-vinyl-records-at-the-den\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eVG++\u003c\/a\u003e condition, meaning you’ll find glossy, very clean vinyl with only minor paper scuffs or faint lines that don’t detract from playback. The 12-inch format is comfortably suited for the album’s earthy yet experimental vibe, making this copy a reliable choice for anyone interested in the roots and branches of progressive bluegrass. It’s a record that’s ready to take flight in your collection without fuss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003csection data-track-listing=\"true\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTrack listing \u0026amp; samples\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Hartford - Aereo Plain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurn Your Radio On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteamboat Whistle Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack In The Goodle Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp On The Hill Where They Do The Boogie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoogie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst Girl I Loved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresbyterian Guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith A Vamp In The Middle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymphony Hall Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBecause Of You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteam Powered Aereo Plane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTear Down The Grand Ole Opry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeather Britches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStation Break\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embeds\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=PLi_HphOpYtw5hBpw2V4FlzP5bWgHBRriE\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/5sGlw68IwialC58eOpnUBN\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Den Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"VG++ \/ VG+ \/ 1971 PITMAN OG PRESS","offer_id":53947476115772,"sku":"13297770213308","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/9932\/2684\/files\/mbid-79edc682-4bbb-4774-a0a3-952961328e4a-10204595759.jpg?v=1785361479","url":"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/products\/john-hartford-aereo-plain-lp-7292026","provider":"The Den New Hope PA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
