Every now and then an unknown Gospel Recording Co. issue shows up on the internet, mostly on eBay. I recently found this LP by the Young People’s Holy Association District Choir, titled “I Won’t Turn My Back On God”. The album, from c. 1967, seems to be undocumented, so it’s a nice addition to the label’s discography. The choir came from the YPHA (Young People’s Holy Association), which was part of the United Holy Church of America and located in Eastern New York. The back cover sketches the history of the church and the choir; the choir was organized in 1952 by Miss Olive Rochell and Mr. Joseph Chavis.
