Yesterday and today, I’ve worked on a Tru-Sound/Prestige discography. I still have to add a couple of images, and will do that soon. Tru-Sound was a subsidiary label of Prestige, in operation between 1961 and 1963. As for gospel, nine 45’s and seven LP’s were released, the last LP as a Prestige issue (in 1964). Apart from that there were several secular releases by artists such as King Curtis, Rhoda Scott, Ernestine Allen, Eddie “Blues Man” Kirkland, etc. This short-lived Prestige offshoot remained a little obscure, which is especially the case for the gospel releases. Most or all recordings were made by Ozzie Cadena (producer) and the world famous Rudy Van Gelder (engineer).
