Description

Up for sale is an incredibly scarce piece of early American country music history: an authentic 10-inch, 78 RPM shellac record featuring country and rockabilly legend Onie Wheeler & The Lonesome Ozark Cowboys, released on the tiny independent Detroit-based label Agana Records. Recorded around 1949, this rare release marks the absolute earliest commercial recording sessions of Onie Wheeler's career—predating his famous runs with major labels like OKeh, Columbia, and Sam Phillips' Sun Records. Tracklist Listing:

  • Side A: "You Shattered Many A Dream" (Vocal by Onie Wheeler) - Catalog No. 1355
  • Side B: "Too Young To Marry" (Vocal by Onie Wheeler) - Catalog No. 1354
Collector Notes:
Independent 78 RPM country pressings from the late 1940s had exceptionally low production numbers, making surviving copies highly sought after by roots-music archivists. This disc has been visually graded under direct lighting conditions and shows very clean preservation for its age. It will be packaged safely using expert 78 RPM cardboard sandwiching methods to guarantee it arrives completely intact. Please see all high-definition listing photos to verify the surface gloss and label condition before buying.
