First Press is a 1981 Rail Records sampler containing ten different acts from the Southern California area. Some of these people, particularly Norton Buffalo, Kate Wolf, and Billy C. Farlow, would go on to become moderately successful. It's mostly country and bluegrass though the inclusion of WBBH is a strange choice. Enjoy!
