Hi , another record i found ...but got totally confused !! Looked on John Manships' site...there were varying hues of green labels with different sizes of print. Could anyone tell me (i sure they can) any information on this particular record to enable me to list it correctly. Thanks again.

On the dead wax there is written NOT printed numbers 001A

Originals are Olive green, with a 3W stamp in the run out, the stamp is like 3w`s on top of each other.

Thank you ..it hasn't got 3w's

Thank you ..it hasn't got 3w's

Drew the w's on a piece of paper and photographed it.

Johnny Bragg was part of vocal group The Prisonaires (who were all inmates at Tennessee State Penitentiary) in the early '50s.  Bragg had been in prison since 1943, serving concurrent life sentences for six counts of rape.

 

The Prisonaires cut a few 45s / 78s for Sun around 1952 - 54 and, as the sleeve above states, Johnny Bragg wrote "Just Walkin' In The Rain", recorded by The Prisonaires in 1953, and became a UK / US No. 1 for Johnnie Ray three years later.
