Slim Dusty Pubs Trucks & Plains

Price: $29.95

It is not every year that we have the opportunity to celebrate the recording of a truly treasured song that can be called an Australian Anthem. But in 2007 we can. This year the Australian Music Industry and EMI Australia commemorates the 50th Anniversary of the recording of Australia’s first ever hit single A Pub With No Beer. This iconic 1957 recording by Slim Dusty, written by Slim’s mate Gordon Parsons was not only the first ever #1 hit by an Australian artist but also Australia’s first ever international hit single (In England, it entered the top three in January 1959 and Internationally sold well over half a million - staggering figures for 1959). It was also Australia’s first ever Gold Record and will always be the only Gold 78 rpm disc to have ever been presented to any Australian artist. EMI Australia release this 3 CD, 60 song set PUBS TRUCKS AND PLAINS. The set not only commemorates A Pub With No Beer and Slim’s many beer related songs (including Slim’s other #1 Hit single Duncan) but also includes the songs, over two other themes that Slim also made his own and served him so well over his 60 year career…and his 7 million recording sales.
