Description
In 1954, Johnny Ashcroft recorded his first commercial recordings, six 78 rpm sides for Rodeo Records. This was followed by his first album called 'Songs of the Western Trail' recorded in 1956, which was Australia’s first country and western vinyl long play album. 'Highway 31', off the album was Australia’s first trucking song!
Vinyl is visually G+, many light sleeve scuffs and scratches and long scuffs, the audio is around Good to VG with background crackles/static and clicks/pops. Some tracks are only play graded at Good because of more and louder crackles and popping through them and some play at VG. No skips or repeats on my gear, that's why G+ grading
Cover is VG+, light ring marks/wear, some spine wear and other marks here and there, refer to images for more detailed gradings
Labels are
