Merle Haggard's Strangers

I'm looking for "The Instrumental Sounds of Merle Haggard's Strangers" but I'm not sure if it was ever released on cd. Any suggestions where I can buy it ?

Hmmm....seems that this record is a rarity. Can't find it on Ebay either

Try the Ernest Tubb Record Shop. They would be the only ones that could locate it,if it exists.

Took about 17 seconds with Google.

They have it listed as entry #0261, and the price just says "make offer." Btw, the actual catalog number is Capitol ST-169. Best of luck, CS

None of the Strangers album were ever released on CD. The links below will give you a lot of info on the five instrumental albums.

I cover "Stealin' Corn", "Every Fool has a Rainbow", and "Hammin' it Up" on my Guitar Styles of Roy Nichols Video.

Good stuff.

Aaarggg...so there are no less than five instrumental albums by The Strangers ? Maybe we should urge Capitol Records to reissue them.

Wow ! Someone offered all 5 of them on Ebay, I made a bid and won them. Just over 70 dollars for 5 records. Not a bad deal I think 8)
There was only one other bidder. I guess nobody noticed this auction :D

That is a rare find Roel. I hope they are in good condition.

Roel from Holland · May 31st, 2004, 04:24 AM

Yes, I was very surprised to find them. The seller has excellent feedback and the condition of the records is supposed to be near mint with just some wear on the covers.

lucky SO.....

Nice find, nice price too!

Yep, and best of all; the records seem to be almost new :) There's only a minor bubble on one track but that was stated in the auction.
