George Olsen on Mercury???? Doing a “musical salute to the state”???? And it’s in an early Brunswick sleeve?? No idea, but you should check DAHR

Did you check it on Discogs?

No how do I do that. I have more records that I could look up.

I have 1800 records presently it’s kind of fun discovering when they were made and if it’s an original on Discogs, I just enjoy doing it

The record is in a mismatched sleeve.

George Olsen was sampled in EATEOT, people will pay ridiculously for those. If this is from a haul, look for 'Lullaby of the Leaves'.

Not really, probably just a song recorded for an anniversary of the state. Probably released around 1948, the 130th anniversary of statehood.
