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.

Today I’ve added a Score discography. Score was a subsidiary label of Aladdin and 59 gospel records were released in the 5000 series, which ran from 1947 to 1955. In the late 1950’s there also was an LP release (by the Trumpeteers).

Apart from the above, I updated the Honey B and Golgotha labels with some more information and a few new scans, thanks to Per Notini.

I’ve added a Honey B discography and completed the Golgotha discography with scans I could make or find in the ‘vaults’.

Today I’ve added a Golgotha discography. It’s quite a mysterious label and I guess around half of the label’s releases are currently unknown. I can only hope that more information will become available soon. Let me know if you can help: drop me line through the Contact page.

I need to add scans which I will do soon, though I haven’t many scans to show…

King LP 1132 is a compilation of tracks by the Swan Silvertones (Swan’s Silvertone Singers), previously released on King and Queen 78rpm records, except for “All Alone” which was first released on Audio Lab EP 11. All the other tracks on this LP were reissued on Audio Lab EP’s. It seems like the compiler had to choose his favorites from the Audio Lab EP’s, of which there were quite a few.

Today I’ve added info and images for this album, which can be seen here. I have also added scans to the Apollo (#215) and Gotham (#742) discographies and I started working on the King Solomon discography. Several scans were added, with more to come soon.

I’ve been working on the Violinaires discography and published it on the website today. All of their recordings from the beginning until the Checker days are included and images have been added when available.

Other than that I’ve been adding images to the Rev. Utah Smith discography and to the King discography.

Today, the following scans were added to the King/Queen discography: Queen 4130, 4137, 4140, 4141, 4142 and 4155. #4140, 4141, 4142 also came in a 78rpm album.

I’ve been a bit inactive here… too many distractions. But in the last few days I’ve added a couple of scans: Clar-Walk 584, King 4233, 4362, 4439, Queen 4145, Vee-Jay 140 and Nashboro LP 7052. Hope to work more on the website in the upcoming weeks.
