Digitally remastered set containing a pair of the eclectic psychedelic folk band's Reprise albums from 1971. The band, formed and fronted by Tom Rapp, finally called it a day in 1976, leaving behind a critically acclaimed body of work. City of Gold was the fifth album made by Pearls Before Swine, and their third on Reprise Records. The album was the first to be credited to Thos. (Tom) Rapp and Pearls Before Swine, rather than solely in the group's name. ... Beautiful Lies You Could Live In was the sixth album by the band. Like it's predecessor, the album was credited to Tom Rapp and Pearls Before Swine. By this time, Rapp was usually recording as, in effect, a solo singer-songwriter, supported by his wife Elisabeth and by session musicians.
