The Great Spectacular is a self-produced demo album[3] by the Dixie Dregs, recorded in 1975 on campus at University of Miami[1] and released in 1976 only on limited vinyl.[4][5] By the time the band had risen in popularity in the late 1970s, the record had been out of print, becoming a highly sought-after collector's item,[6][7] and was re-released for the CD format in 1997.[5]
