Tri-State Records Discography

Tri-State
P.O. Box 11522

The Tri-State label had a post office box adress printed on all labels, in contrast to other Wooten productions. The reason for this oddity is still unknown.

45-1922: Curley Fields - Son of a Gun, I Done It Again / Could It Be (1967)
45-1923: Clyde Nelson and Ronnie - Stairway to the Top / Wrong Side of Town (1968)
45-1924: Cousin Zeke - Get Your Finger Out of It / Lover Man Minus Sex Appeal (1968)

Two different Tri-State Records. This discography is Tri-State in Memphis, TN. I believe Tri-State Recording in Kingsport, TN released the three that DrunkenHobo mentions. Tri-State in Kingsport was most often released as Trail Records while I have ran across a few that are vanity releases that mention Tri-State Recording only and a couple with TSRC as the label. The Tri-State in Kingsport was around from 1967 to 1988. The first 1967 release I'm aware of was TSRC-1701 and runs thru TSRC-1948 in the late 1980's. I collect the Kingsport, TN label and am trying to create a discography.

Try-State didn't go in chronological order on the albums. Who's the artist and what's the album title?
