Joe Maphis started as a session musician who played on Ricky Nelson's first record, Stuart Hamblin, Tex Ritter, and others, and also created the soundtracks for the films "The FBI Story" and "Thunder Road". He and Rose Lee were regulars on the Los Angeles TV program "Town Hall Party Show" for 11 years. Maphis played Mosrite guitars, and he is known as the "King of the Strings" - he plays shredding country rockabilly; he and Rose Lee were a big part of the Bakersfield country and rockabilly scene of the late 1950's to 1960's.
Condition: VG/G+ (vinyl still has some gloss, with some minor scuffing and a few light scratches which I can't feel with a thumbnail, and which cause only some scattered minor background; labels are clean; jacket has rubbing and a small scar to cover; top and bottom edges are completely split; back cover has a 2-inch spot causing smearing to the signature).

REGARDING IMAGE QUALITY: Some of our older listings have images of poor quality; a few months ago Ebay changed their image size policies, and I was forced to automatically enlarge the images for all of last years' remaining items, which caused them to be grainy and blurry.
