Greetings from L.A. is the seventh album by singer-songwriter Tim Buckley, released in 1972. It was recorded at Far Out Studios in Hollywood, California. Like most of his other albums, Greetings from L.A. did not sell well, this is probably his best seller (seeing at least 2 different US pressings, the first with removable postcard+dark green label, the second had no perforations for the postcard+on the palm tree style WB label), getting substantial airplay in the Twin Cities on the Minneapolis FM station KQRS and sold very well at the independent record shops in Minneapolis-St. Paul and elsewhere (Detroit, New York, etc.) until it was deleted by Warner Brothers (where upon Greetings continued to sell as an UK/European import into the '80's).
The album was later re-released on November 7, 2005 in a compilation with debut album Tim Buckley by Elektra.
