HMV & Sunshine Years Vol 4

Volume 4 ST832

1964-1970. The Definitive Original Collection Vol 4 - ST832 After his extremely succesful time with Leedon Records Lonnie was enticed to go to HMV Records. His releases there were in both the Rockabilly and Country genre's and he wrote most of the songs himself.

The album, 'A Country Boy at Heart' proved the emphises HMV had on trying to open up the country areas to pop of the time. It was the first Australian Stereo album recorded at EMI 301 Studio when they were at their height.

His singles of that era are also included in this historic release.

In the late 1960's he recorded some singles in Sunshine records. These included a new very different version of 'Starlight Starbright' . He also wrote and recorded others such as 'The Traveller', 'Hello Love' and 'Sad Over Someone' (SOS) which was his last Aussie #1.
