12 Golden Country Greats (original version with Muhammad Ali sample)

~ Release by Ween (see all versions of this release, 9 available)

Annotation

This is the original, longer version of the album, which contains an undedited version of track 6, "Powder Blue." In this version of the song, Muhammad Ali is introduced as the last member of the band, followed by a lengthy sample of Ali describing his boxing victory over George Foreman. This was removed shortly after the album's initial relase, presumably for legal reasons.
