Slim Dusty’s 1st album reissued on CD with original cover. On June 13, 45 years ago, Slim Dusty and EMI celebrated Slim's 33rd birthday with a historic debut 33rpm Long Play (album) release Slim Dusty Sings. This was one of the first ever Long Play releases by an Australian artist and there was no way anyone, including Slim himself, would have anticipated that Slim Dusty would have gone on, not only to release 18 albums just in this '60s decade, but also continue on to release a remarkable 100 plus albums over the following four decades of his career.

So on June 12, the eve of what would have been Slims 78th birthday, EMI Australia will release for the first time on CD, six of Slim Dusty Classics albums from the 1960s. These historic CD releases will commemorate both Slim's hugely successful '60s era (12 x GOLD LP's) and the anniversary of the 45 years since the release of his debut album Slim Dusty Sings. Discovery will be making all these future reissues available in the UK.
