Lynyrd Skynyrd : Skynyrd's First and... Last/Skynyrd's First: The Complete Muscle Shoals Album

WELL, I SEEN YOU

THROUGH YOUR WINDOW, BABY

MANY TIMES BEFORE

YEAH THERE'S A HUNDRED DIFFERENT

LOVERS KNOCKIN'

ON YOUR BACK DOOR

Skynyrd's First and... Last 

was the original name

 of a 

posthumous compilation album

first released in 1978

 by the rock band

 Lynyrd Skynyrd 

In 1998, 

it was repackaged, 

renamed and re-released

 as

 Skynyrd's First: 

The Complete Muscle Shoals Album, 

being expanded

 to include

 eight additional tracks

four of which were 

previously unreleased

 and four which

 would be 

re-recorded for

 (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd). 

As the renamed 

title suggests,

 the album was recorded at 

Muscle Shoals Sound Studio

 in Alabama. 

Originally intended

 to be their 

debut album

 it was shelved, 

making

 (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd)

 their actual debut. 

The album was

 certified Gold on

 September 8, 1978, 

and Platinum on

 November 10, 1978, 

by the RIAA.

The albums contains

 early band recordings

 from 1971 and 1972. 

Many of the tracks 

are exclusive

 to these albums,

 being either

 otherwise unreleased, 

or original versions 

of songs 

later re-recorded 

for other studio albums.

 However, 

a few of these 

early tracks 

were later released 

on compilation albums, 

such as

 Lynyrd Skynyrd Box Set

 and the

 German-based 

Repertoire Records

 release

 Old Time Greats

 in 1997.
