_________________________________________________

Johnny's first record for Columbia, after leaving Sun, and one of his best. Original pressing in excellent condition. I shared this a long time ago but just did some minor additional cleanup. I like the sound of this compared to the Bear Family CD boxset, and the Time Life set. (Although not a great comparison, as this is the mono mix.)
