SALES NOTES

Mack Vickery wrote top-selling records for Jerry Lee Lewis, , , , , and many more. In the ‘50s he recorded at and then for Gone Records. His first LP in 1970 was an all-time classic, 'Live At The Alabama Women's Prison', now reissued for the first time. It featured one of the greatest sleeve designs of all time and the music was no less impressive: Mack Vickery sang his heart out in front of convicted females starved for music, love and affection.

Vickery took Johnny Cash’s 'Live In Prison' concept to a bizarre dimension and reached into the darkest corner of every teenage boy's sexual fantasies: Women Behind Bars. What could be better? He packed up his road show and took it into a woman's prison in Alabama. Vickery's record met with plenty of resistance, and the record company soon went bankrupt. In addition to the complete LP, there are two bonus tracks, one of which is the original version of Jerry Lee Lewis’ notorious Meat Man .
