Tracks by Jimmy Ellis/Orion highlighted.
NOTES: Various artists album containing tracks by various uncredited performers. Promised Land is by Jimmy Ellis.
Released with two slightly different front covers one issued with black border on front cover and yellow labels. Other has white border with white label.
Back covers are different on each album.
A sought after album due to this being the only official release of the above song.
NOTES: This release is often mistakenly referred to as being titled COUNTRY STARS or ALABAMA AND FRIENDS.
Apparently Shelby Singleton ran into some legal problems with this LP release, due to the inclusion of tracks by Alabama, and was forced to discontinue selling the album. The Alabama tracks were recorded before the band changed its name from Wild Country to Alabama.
NOTES: Limited Edition vinyl release featuring various artists from the Sun Records stable.
Issued on "Clear Smoke Vinyl".
The two tracks included are credited to Orion when they are actually Jimmy Ellis recordings and both are alternate recordings compared to versions already known to exist on singles and album compilations. Stunning quality recordings and very much improved on original releases.
NOTES: Issued on red vinyl.
Includes the previously unreleased Orion song Please Come Home For Christmas.
