Earlier this week, Garth Brooks's website crashed; there was more interest than he expected in his vinyl "Legacy" project.

Garth later said to fans on Facebook, “It looks like we might’ve had more people than we thought going to get records, because we’re afraid that we might be broken! I wish I could even explain it."

With the success of the sale on Thursday, Garth said of his vinyl Legacy project, “This thing is going to come in three different packages for the way you like to listen to music. There’s the analog version of Legacy…the original recordings the way they sounded…there’s another box that is called the ‘remix-remaster’ series, which takes all that analog transferred to digital…the records kind of jump to life in more of a modern sound…louder, clearer…and the limited package…all the cool packaging…analog vinyl…and digital CDs, so you can actually listen to the difference right there.”

According to Brooks' website, The Vinyl Legacy Project will be shipped to fans starting on November 1, 2019. Fans can order at his website.
