Josh Rouse's 'Nashville' (2004) is the critically admired Americana and indie-folk record that cemented his reputation as one of the finest singer-songwriters of his generation. This is the original UK/EU Rykodisc pressing on catalogue number RCD10679, manufactured in Belgium — distinct from later reissues and now out of print on this label.
The release comes in a distinctive digipak sleeve featuring the LP-replica vinyl-look disc design that made this edition collectable in its own right. All ten tracks are present across one disc, including 'It's the Nighttime', 'Winter in the Hamptons', 'Streetlights', 'Sad Eyes', and 'Life' — a cohesive, warmly produced set recorded with collaborators Brad Jones and Daniel Tashian among others.
Ideal for fans of Josh Rouse, devotees of early 2000s Americana and indie-folk, and collectors specifically seeking this scarce Rykodisc stereo pressing. A genuinely hard-to-find physical edition in very good, complete condition.

No writing, price stickers, or water damage present. All components are accounted for and complete.
Q: Is this the original pressing or a reissue?
A: This is the original 2004 UK/EU Rykodisc pressing on catalogue number RCD10679, manufactured in Belgium. It is not a reissue or repress, and is now out of print on this label.
Q: Is the inner booklet included and is it in good condition?
A: Yes, the inner booklet is present and in clean condition — no tears, writing, or water damage noted.
Q: Are there any scratches on the disc that might affect playback?
A: The disc appears free of deep scratches and the playing surface looks clean. We expect it to play through without issue, though as with all used CDs a degree of light handling marks may be present.
Q: What is a digipak and does it affect compatibility?
A: A digipak is a card-based sleeve with a moulded plastic tray holding the disc — it is not a standard jewel case. The disc itself is a standard CD and plays on any CD player or drive worldwide.

A: No — no writing, price stickers, or labels of any kind have been noted on either the sleeve or the disc.
