Facets is a self-published album by American singer-songwriter Jim Croce, released in 1966. (See 1966 in music). 500 copies of the album were pressed. Croce was able to finance the pressing of these 500 records with a $500.00 cash wedding gift that he & his wife to be, Ingrid, received from his parents. Jim's parents had a plan though. They were sure that when Jim tried to sell copies of his record that it would be a complete failure. That way he would buckle down, get a real job and be finished with the music business once and for all. To their surprise, he not only sold every last record but also made a profit of $2,490.00. The majority of those records were sold at Croce's shows. Original vinyl copies of Facets are extremely rare today. They are known to fetch as much as $1,000.00 from collectors if they are in nice condition.Shout! Factory released an expanded two-disc version in 2004.
