Sargent Major SM 1001 (labels SM 1001-1 and SM 1001-2, blue and silver with a sergeant-major chevron emblem; front cover "SGT MAJ 1001", back "SGT MAJOR 1001"), titled "Bull Durham's Songs of SACk" on the cover and labels. The front cover reads "Air Force Sergeant's Association presents" with the AFSA winged logo and a cartoon of a riveted fist (the B-52 "bull") hauling a "Genuine Bull" tobacco pouch and a guitar-playing cowboy riding a bomber; "Cover by G. L. Martinez". Side 1: Introduction & Liberty (:52), 18 Hours (3:13), Sad SAC (4:20, Edwin H. Morris Co., Inc.), Happy SAC Warrior (2:30, Sam Fox), Hang Down Your Boom Ross Cooley (3:30); Side 2: Wreck of the Old 97 (2:05), SAC Lament (1:54), No SAC Crew Members Down in Hell (2:10), Home on the Pad (4:50), The Crew That Never Returned (3:25, Atlantic Music); all other titles Dur-Don Music BMI. The back-cover note explains that the Air Force Sergeants Association, chartered in May 1961 and based in San Antonio, Texas, aims to promote esprit de corps and public understanding of the United States Air Force, and that Strategic Air Command was chosen as the first command in a planned series of AFSA recordings. It describes SAC crews, from "old pro's" of the B-17s, B-24s and B-29s of World War II and Korea to younger airmen, flying twenty-four-hour missions and standing ground and airborne alert as "a tough and competent breed of men who have dedicated their lives to 'Peace Through Air Power'", and says "Bull" Durham "needs no introduction to SAC men" and "knows the life of the crews who fly the 'Big Ones'". Sales agent William D. Holford, 5418 Grape Road, Houston, Texas 77035; "Sponsored by Air Force Sergeants Association P.O. Box 908, San Antonio, Texas 78206". [From the record sleeve and labels]
