Gary Higgins – A Dream A While Back LP Record 2011 Reissue Drag City Folk 45RPM

A rare archival release of singer-songwriter Gary Higgins’ lost demos: “A Dream A While Back” on Drag City (DC464). This 12" LP is the 2011 Drag City reissue of Higgins’ circa 1970–1971 acoustic demos and is pressed as a 45RPM 12-inch record. The center labels read GARY HIGGINS • A Dream A While Back • DC464 and list Side 1: Stormy Weather / Laugh a Little / Song to Springtime and Side 2: Waiting for You / Oxygen / Checklist. The back cover features full printed lyrics and a small sticker noting the recordings’ 1970–1971 origin and archival context — ideal for collectors of vintage folk and singer-songwriter rarities.

This pressing was issued by Drag City and bears the label catalog number DC464. It’s a single-disc black vinyl LP pressed for playback at 45RPM (label printed “45rpm”), with vintage-style cream-and-brown Drag City labels. Notable tracks include “Stormy Weather” and “Song to Springtime,” plus six intimate acoustic demos that capture Higgins’ early folk sensibility.
