Description
Sterling Records, Inc. ?– Catalog # 201 This is a super rare original pressing of Hank Williams very first single released on the Sterling label. Hank only released his first four singles on the Sterling label. I probably don't need to mention that these are very rare and sought after. If you are a collector, then you already know. That being said, the surface of this record is in very poor condition and should not be considered playable. My guess is that at some point in time, somebody tried to clean it with an alcohol-based cleaner and it damaged the playing surface. I could be wrong, but that's what it looks like to me. There are no cracks, but it does have one edge chip.The A side label is the better of the two, so that is good, since that's probably the side you would want to display if you were going to frame it. This is a piece of history for display or to just to say you own it. Only 8 people in the world have logged this record into Discogs. , Only one has sold for a price of $500. See the link:

This record will be packed securly with reinforcements to protect against breakage.
It was recorded on December 11, 1946 at WSM Studios in Nashville.
After being signed with the help of Fred Rose to Sterling Records, Williams assisted his debut recording session on December 11, 1946 at Castle Recording Company's studio D in Nashville, Tennessee. The singer cut four songs, returning later on February 13, 1947 to cut four new sides. His first single, "Never Again (Will I Knock on Your Door)" backed with "Calling You" was released in January 1947. Not satisfied with Sterling, and upon learning of the creation of MGM Records by the Loews Corporation, Fred Rose negotiated a deal for Williams.[4] Rose bought the Sterling masters, became Williams' manager and signed him to the label, agreeing to record all of his sessions in Nashville.
