John Prine The Oh Boy Singles Numbered Limited Edition 45rpm 7" Vinyl 8Disc Box Set

• DESCRIPTION

Modeled precisely after John Prine's 1935 Wurlitzer jukebox, this 8-disc 7" vinyl collection features the eight singles Prine released throughout his career on Oh Boy Records packaged in their original artwork as well as working lights that illuminate the jukebox, a booklet with a forward written by Jim Rooney, two "Handsome Johnny" jukebox coins, a vintage Oh Boy Records catalog and more.

One of Prine's beloved possessions, the original jukebox was a gift from his friend and fellow songwriter Steve Goodman as a thank you for co-writing Goodman's first country hit, "You Never Even Called Me by My Name," after Prine refused to take credit or accept any royalties for writing the song.

The jukebox was recently donated by John's family to the permanent collection of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

Of the collection, Oh Boy Records' Jody Whelan, who is also John's oldest son, shares, "This collection took quite a bit of time and effort to put together, and perhaps some version of it could have come out a year or two earlier, but the guiding principle for us always was: 'Would John have thought this was cool?' So, after many revisions and additions we can finally say, 'John would have thought this was cool (or at least Pretty Good).'"
