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).

The Skylarks, or the Famous Skylarks, recorded for Nashboro from 1950 (this year is given on the back cover of their only LP release, LP 7058) until 1967. Apart from the LP, which marked the end of the group’s recording career, 24 singles were issued. Yesterday and today I’ve added scans of all the Skylarks records in my possession – sixteen 45’s/78’s plus the LP release.

After recording the previous album (Gospel Chords on Chalice) I was in the mood to do another one: the album “Thank You Jesus” by the Six Voices of Zion of Columbia, SC. This rather obscure LP, released on Gusman 1001 in c. 1972-73, featured ‘new’ recordings on the A-side and older recordings on the B-side (1966-69). This was the group’s first album, with follow-up releases on Pitch (1976) and Co-Town (1980’s).

Three songs on this album were released on the 3CD release “The Pitch/Gusman Record Story” on Big Legal Mess (#BLM 0224; 2009). This CD release is still available from their website.

The album is available on CD-r and as a download. Send me a message if you’d like to make an order.
