Plantation Records Story 1968-1981 (Various Artists) Budget

This 2CD overview includes 50 tracks presenting the very best of Plantation’s singles output, and includes 23 US Country hits. It features the label’s four million-sellers: Jeannie C. Riley’s sassy ‘Harper Valley P.T.A.’, Harlow Wilcox’s guitar instro ‘Groovy Grubworm’, C-Company featuring Terry Nelson’s controversial ‘Battle Hymn Of Lt. Calley’ and Rod Hart’s bizarre gay truckers’ anthem ‘C.B. Savage’. Very little of this material has previously been reissued, in any format, and many of these sides make their CD debuts on this set.
