Month: August 2017

Added today are scans and sound files for Ram 77530 by the Sybil Johnson Singers (c. 1957). I received these files from Alton and Margaret Warwick, through Dominique Anglares. The 78 was first featured on my recordconnexion website where the audio was available as download of the month (Feb. 2014).

This 78rpm record can be considered a real rarity and it’s probably the only 78rpm record ever released by Ram Records. Little to nothing is known about the Sybil Johnson Singers, except that they were a Shreveport group and Sybil Johnson seems to have played piano on Linda Brannon’s “I Shall Not Be Moved” (unreleased). Linda Brennon was a white female pop, country and rockabilly singer, who recorded for Ram, Philips and Epic.

Also added today are scans for Queen 4138, 4139, 4154, 4156, 4163 ans 4173 (all kindly sent to me by Per Notini).

I’ve added audio for many of the CD-r’s I have for sale. This was done for all titles which are linked to a corresponding album page. The audio is accessible from the discographies as well.

Updates:

• I’ve added images and details for Gospel Corner LP 515 by the Mighty Gospel Revelators of San Diego, California.

• Audio has been added to the following discographies: Checker, Chess, Gospel, Gospel Corner, Gospel Recording Co. and Halo.

• Scans have been added to the Jas discography (1017, 528) (thanks to Per Notini).

• A previously unknown LP has been added to the Gospel Recording Co. discography (LP 1385). It appears this sermon LP was issued in a blank, gold-colored cover (thanks to Angela Church).

It appeared to be more simple than I thought, so I started adding music files to the website. There’s one on the home page (Norfleet Brothers) and I’ve added several to the discographies. The music is available from the pages with label scans and in the main listing the presence of a music file is indicated by a note (). Click to see the scans and then scroll down for the audio player.

The first files have been added (see Arctic, Avant, Bandera, Bounty, Elko, Gotham, Hosanna), with more to follow soon.
