80 AUSSIE TRUCKIN CLASSICS.  Sitting on 80 will be released on the 24th July and is a 4 x CD set featuring 80 of Slim's classic Truckin' (Trucking) recordings from his long career.  Rumour has it that there will be a great little bonus for the many Slim Truck song fans and of course for all Slim fans.  

The family of the late Slim Dusty recently made an important discovery ...A musical find that has even further strengthened the significance of an upcoming 80 x song Slim Dusty trucking collection titled Sittin’ on 80.

Just prior to EMI’s finalising this new unique Australian trucking song collection, Slim’s wife Joy McKean contacted the company to notify them that a never heard before musical treasure from Slim had been found. The unreleased recording, Give Me Room is classic Slim Dusty and will undoubtedly prove to be another major highlight in Slim’s quite extraordinary trucking song catalogue . Give Me Room was written by one of Slim’s favourite songwriters John Dohling. John, an outback station hand and good mate of Slim’s passed away in November of last year ... sadly, he never got to hear the final version of Slim’s recording of his fantastic trucking song

It is understood the recording took place in Slim’s home studio (i.e Columbia Lane) sometime in 1997. Also involved in the recording were members of his legendary Travelling Country Band. The track has been completed and digitally mastered by Australia’s mastering guru Don Bartley especially for the upcoming CD collection SITTIN ON 80.

Contains 4 discs.
