Today I have purchased the remaining assets of legendary southern music recording and publishing company Lowery Music/Southern Tracks Recordings.This legendary company,based in Atlanta,Georgia has been instrumental in the country western,rock music field for over 50 years.With a stable of writers and artists like Atlanta Rhythm Section, Joe South,Tommy Roe,Billy Joe Royal,Ray Stevens,Mac Davis,Ray Whitley,Jerry Reed,Bill Anderson and countless others the memorabilia is never ending.In most recent years artists like Pearl Jam,Incubus and Faith Hill have made Southern Tracks studio home.     In acquiring these assets I obtained thousands of long out of print LPs and 45s.Thousand of pieces of sheet music that havent seen the light of day in some cases for 40 years.Record awards,BMI Certificates,autographed items,8x10s,sealed 8 track tapes and the list goes on and on.This will literally take at least a year or more (correction: 2 years or more) to list all these items.Some things I wont even uncover for probably 6 months (correction: Its been a year and still finding crazy stuff) or so.The volume of these items is enormous (correction:GINORMOUS).   If you have any request for any of these artist I will try to oblige.I will list items as I get to them and hopefully everybody will find that special one-of-a-kind item from this musically historic company. Today 1/22/2014 ,or should I say 9/20/2015, I am still listing these lps and 45s from their vault.These lps and 45s are all basically new, unopened and never played.About 98% of the albums are still sealed with original shrinkwrap and 99% of the 45s have never seen the light of day.The other 2% are open but have never been played.Some will have promo stickers,be stamped promo.a hole in corner of cover,a cut in spine, white record label,or some other designation as being a promotional or demonstration record.
Up for sale today is yet another great find from this archive.I found a lot of books that belonged to Bill Lowery .Lots are very rare.Some are dated and some are timeless but all have great information.This is an interesting book to say the least.This is a First Edition book called Orion by Gail Brewer-Giorgio written shortly after Elvis died based loosely on his life and faked death of which Jimmy Ellis took the name Orion for several years and put out lots of 45s and LPs mostly for Sun Records that sold very well.This book was given to Bill Lowery in 1981 and signed and inscripted by the author.Inscription reads : First Edition To Bill- Orion is a book  of love-and hope- A "Rocky" of the world of music & rock n roll Thanks for sharing in it! Fond regards Gail Brewer-Giorgio Feb-1981 Of course Jimmy Ellis became Orion and at some point after his Sun years signed with Bill Lowery Music Publishing and put out several 45s on Southern Tracks Records which i have listed on my site.Dont know if this book influenced him or not.Shipping is $3.99.International shipping is available.Combined shipping is available and encouraged. 2 for 1 shipping on all 45s.
