American. Column One was owned by Country & western star Box Car Willie. In the States it issued records from 1976 to 1980, but over here its output seems to have been far more restricted. The only British Column One single I have been able to trace is the one shown above, Box Car Willie's own 'I Love The Sound Of A Whistle' (S-C-1009) which came out in 1978. As the label indicates, it was distributed by a Scottish company, Big Country Music of Biggar, Lanarkshire. The single kept its original American catalogue number.
