Description
TWO VERY RARE COUNTRY PENTECOSTAL GOSPEL QUARTET ACETATES RECORDED AT SAM PHILLIP'S MEMPHIS RECORDING SERVICE WHICH WENT ON A FEW YEARS LATER TO BECOME SUN STUDIOS BOTH OF THESE ARE A LOCAL PENTECOSTAL GOSPEL QUARTET WITH A VERY NICE SOUND I FOUND THEM IN A LOCAL ESTATE THERE IS A SOMEWHAT CHOPPED INTRO ON ONE SIDE WITH THE BAND NAME AND THEN LISTING THE MEMBERS THAT WAS DONE BY SAM PHILLIPS I THINK ? PENTECOSTAL QUARTET THE FIRST WORD IS TOO MUFFLED FOR ME TO DECIPHER THEN PENTECOSTAL QUARTET THEN THE MEMBER'S NAMES EACH SIDE HAS A ROUGH CHOP THEN EITHER THIS OR PART OF THIS WITH A DIFFERENT FOLLOWUP THESE ACETATES RARELY SHOW UP HERE AND ARE USUALLY OF MUCH LESSER MUSICAL QUALITY THAN THESE BOTH ARE VERY NICE EARLY 1950'S COUNTRY QUARTET GOSPEL
I FOUND ANOTHER COPY OF ONE OF THESE WITH THE ORIGINAL SHOPPING BAG AT ANOTHER ESTATE HERE A FEW YEARS AGO AND SOLD BOTH PERHAPS ALL OF THE QUARTET MEMBERS HAD A COPY CUT
I THINK THE WHITE LABELS WERE USED BEFORE THE RED ONES
