V.A - God Give Me Light 1927-1931: Sanctified Vol. 2 (Herwin 203 *1972)



Outstanding 78rpm gospel collection from Herwin Records, featuring knockout performances from a handful of both black and white sanctified singers of the day. As the liner notes say: "Unfortunately, very little is known about the artists in this album." I do know that I recommend it, highly. 320 vinyl rip by yours truly. Enjoy.

  2. Nick, perhaps the most admirable of your many admirable qualities is that you take the time to painstakingly rip, upload & post music that *you* love with no apparent regard to whether or not it's hyped, cool, known, unknown, canonical or collectable.

    This lp is wonderful. As always, my sincere thanks!
