The seven volumes of the Koori Classics series (1985-1989) released by Tamworth-based music studio and label ENREC, featured a who’s who of Aboriginal musicians of the era. Volume 4 was a special release subtitled 'The Aboriginal Prison Song Collection', and featured Roger Knox, Vic Simms and Mac Silva. The cover shot features Vic, Mac and Roger with an original 1957 copy of Elvis Presley's 'Jailhouse rock', which they perform as the last track on the album. In this clip Roger Knox performs 'Gouldburn Jail', which also appeared on a 7" single released by ENREC in the same year.
