I finally finished working on the many Proverb scans that Patrick Staten sent me an they’re all on display now. Also added is the only known Hy-Tone LP (#100) by the New Hope Missionary Baptist Church Choir.

Scans have been added to the Imperial (78’s and LP’s) and Process (first three 45’s) discographies. Added to the preface of the Process discography is a link to S and H 202 (the first release by the Gospel Six of Buffalo, NY).

In the last week I’ve been working on an Imperial gospel discography and I got some help from Per Notini. The discography’s now published on the website. More images will be added soon.

I also worked some more on the Nashboro discography and added images for the singles I have in my possession up to Maggie Ingram. Also added: a scan for Golgotha 170, which I found on the internet.

In the last few days I’ve added scans for the Nashboro (now up to Edna Gallmon Cooke) and Proverb (all new but a few) discographies. Also added: scans for Hollywood 1049, Ark 148 and Savoy LP 14060.

Added yesterday and today:

– Fine Art 235
– Gospel Corner 106, 108, 113, 121, 122, 122, 124, 132, 134, 135, 136, 137, 147
– Hollywood 1010
– Recorded In Hollywood 100, 101, 191, 220

Most scans came from Per Notini and Patrick Staten.

Thanks to information on matrix numbers that I found on the internet (see www.45rpmrecords.com), I could correct the years given in the Finch and Fine Art discographies.

In the last few days I’ve added the following scans, which were kindly sent to me by Per Notini and Patrick Staten:

Acquarian 6457, 9933/34
Apollo 307
Dolphins Of Hollywood 123, 131, 150
Finch 70670
Golgotha 115
Gospel Corner 111, 116, 118, 120, 123, 125, 131, 140, 142, 143, 146
Gospel Recording Co. 373

In the last few weeks Patrick Staten and I have been working on the Aquarian label and the results are available now. The information was drawn from Patrick’s extensive Aquarian collection and a few other sources.

Today I went through all my Discogs offerings and lowered most prices, ranging from over 10% to sometimes over 40%. Follow this link to see all gospel items I have for sale: 45’s, LP’s, plus a few 78’s and CD’s (over 200 items in total).

Now available on CD-r and as a download is the compilation album “The Best From The West” on Proverb Records. This rare album features known and lesser known artists who have recorded for Brother Henderson’s Proverb label. The cover says “True High Fidelity” which is a bit exaggerated, however a truly beautiful copy was the source for this recording, so you won’t easily find it any better, and there sure is a lot of obscure material to enjoy.

You can read this post for more information and click here (or on the image below) for the album details. If you’d like to order a CD-r or a download, be sure to drop me a line through the contact page.

In the passed few days I’ve added several scans to the Nashboro discography (530, 542, 647, 832, 857, 889) plus some to various discographies (thanks to Per Notini): Gospel Recording Co. 502, 512, 524, 587; Avant 065; D-Town 201 and 202, Ark 109, Message 1236 (some scans were replaced).
