Prime Prine: The Best of John Prine
Prime Prine is a compilation album by American folk singer John Prine, released in 1976. It concluded Prine's run with Atlantic Records. No one associated with Prine had anything to do with the release, with the singer telling Goldmine in 1992, "A friend of ours in the art department called us one night and snuck us into the place...so we could at least look at the cover before it came out."[1]

Writing retrospectively for Allmusic, critic William Ruhlman commented of the album, "Atlantic Records' compilation of John Prine's first four albums was good for its time...but was later superseded by Rhino's Great Days anthology."[2]

gollark: AAAAAAAA WHY IS VSCODE'S INDENTING THING SO USELESS
gollark: Also, it looks like I might be able to ship potatOS as not quite a single file.
gollark: I decided to actually install a Lua plugin for my IDE, and it seems to have dredged up a few minor bugs in potatOS because of undefined globals.
gollark: No, since that *could* just be constantly 20.
gollark: I've found this alternative tool (https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/luabundler) which might work too, hmm.
