This listing is for an original cassette release titled

Lynyrd Skynyrd and Friends – In Jacksonville Vol. 1: The Dawn of Southern Rock, issued by ShadeTree Records (Jacksonville, Florida) in 1993.


This is a regional, independent compilation highlighting early Southern rock recordings from the Jacksonville music scene, featuring early Lynyrd Skynyrd material with Ronnie Van Zant on vocals, along with other local bands from the same era.


Unlike standard Lynyrd Skynyrd studio albums, this cassette was never a major-label release and appears to have been pressed in limited quantities, primarily for local or regional distribution.
