Skynyrd's First: The Complete Muscle Shoals Album

Skynyrd's First And...Last was an album containing 1971 and 1972 collections by the rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd. It was considered by most fans as a "needed"album, as all the tracks are not available on the other studio recordings, apart from compilation and live albums. In 1998, it was renamed to Skynyrd's First: The Complete Muscle Shoals Album and it contained eight additional tracks, six of which were never released prior to the re-issue.
