Joan Baez’s sixth studio album, Farewell, Angela, is getting a new vinyl reissue to mark the 60th anniversary of its release.

The record, Baez’s bestselling album, will be released Oct. 3 on 180-gram vinyl, marking the album’s first wide vinyl reissue in almost 40 years. It will also be released on standard and hi-res digital platforms.

Farewell, Angela, which peaked at #10 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart, features Baez’s first use of electric guitar. It has the artist mixing traditional folk standards with contemporary covers, including four Bob Dylan songs — “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue,” the title track, “Daddy, You’ve Been on My Mind” and “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” — plus songs written by Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger.

Farewell, Angela is available for preorder now.
