Cat. No. VV 1054: THE PRESTON MOUNTAIN BOYS ~ IT'S GREAT TO BE LIVING. PRESTON RECORDS PEP-5015.

USED VINYL RECORD. PART OF A COLLECTION NOW UP FOR SALE.

THE MELBOURNE ROCKABILLY REVIVAL OF THE LATE 1970s AND EARLY 1980s IS ALMOST LEGENDARY AROUND THE WORLD AND FAR OUTSTRIPS SIMILAR REVIVALS INTERNATIONALLY. A MAJOR PART OF THE REVIVAL SCENE WAS THE NOW EQUALLY LEGENDARY PRESTON RECORDING STUDIOS RUN BY GRAEME THOMAS WHO SADLY PASSED NOT THAT LONG AGO BUT AN INCREDIBLE LEGACY WAS LEFT BEHIND. IN THAT PERIOD ANY ARTIST WHO HAD AN INTEREST IN ROCKABILLY AND/OR BLUEGRASS AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER FOUND THEMSELVES BEHIND THE MICROPHONE AT PRESTON STUDIOS. MANY OF THE RELEASES ON THE PRESTON LABEL ARE NOW ATTRACTING VERY HIGH PRICES ON EBAY AND DISCOGS. THIS ADDITION TO OUR VINTAGE VINYL COLLECTION IS THE FORE-RUNNER OF A NUMBER OF THE TITLES RELEASED ON THE LABEL.

THIS 1985 EXTENDED PLAY BY THE PRESTON MOUNTAIN BOYS BROUGHT TOGETHER THE CREAM OF MELBOURNE'S TOP TALENT. THE COMPOSITE BAND CONSISTED OF THE LEGENDARY (A LOT OF LEGENDS, EH!) VICTOR O'NEILL ON VOCALS, DONAL BAYLOR (FIDDLE), ANDY BAYLOR (GUITAR) AND GRAEME THOMAS, HIMSELF, ON BASS ON SOME OF THE FINEST BLUEGRASS AND COUNTRY BOOGIE SONGS EVER WRITTEN.

THE SLEEVE OF THIS EP IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION CONSIDERING IT IS ONLY PAPER AND NOT CARDBOARD AND THE RECORD IS IN VIRTUAL MINT CONDITION AND IS A WORTHY ADDITION TO ANY ROCKABILLY FANS COLLECTION.

TRACK LISTING: Side 1 - It's Great To Be Living / Doin' My Time. Side 2 - Smooth Sailin' / Blue Moon Of Kentucky.
