On September 14, 1946, Williams auditioned for the Grand Ole Opry, but was rejected. He signed a contract for six songs with Fred Rose. Rose obtained with those songs a contract for Williams with Sterling Records. On December 11, 1946, in his first recording session, he recorded "Wealth Won't Save Your Soul," "Calling You," "Never Again," and "When God Comes and Gathers his Jewels."[8] The recordings of "Never Again" and "Honky Tonkin'" were important successes.

yup me too!!!! Sounds like thats part of the American tradition in the latter half of the 20th century

@dwilli48 Acetate disc were used for home recording in those days. Mostly by aspiring singers and songwriters fo demo their music. That is the way that Hank Jr. got the recording of Hank Sr. singing There's a Tear In My Beer, it was an acetate disc. It had set in "Big"Bill Lester's attic for 40 years. Calling You was Hank's first record with a recording contract and a publishing deal.

you a one lucky person. props

You say this was the very first record issued by Hank Williams, but I have a cd set that has a song on it that the publishers say came out in 1942. It was recorded on acetate and the sound quality was not very good and the first few words of the song are not audible on the cd.

@WayneGuindon Wayne, that scratchy noise you hear on old records is from the wear the record grooves have received from the old heavy tone arm and large needle that was used to play the records back then. As time progressed, lighter tone arms and smaller needles were developed to lessen so much of the wear the records received. The more a record is played, the more of the scratching noise is created.
