Probably something you will never hear anywhere else.  This was a local Portland band from the late 1940's and this is probably their only record.  I found a box about half full with copies of this record, most were still new.  I couldn't imagine the number of pressings would be very high, a few hundred at best.  It came from the estate of the folks who owned the Division Street Corral here in Portland, Oregon.  It started as a popular country music and dance venue in Portland in 1948.  Times changed, and in 1954, it started booking popular bands, rock, rock-a-billy, etc.  By the time it closed in 1979, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, John Mayall, The Animals, and many more bands had played there.  There is a pretty good history of this place at:
