Bit rushed this morning as we're gettin ready to dash off for a 3 day break at a National Trust owned country house hotel in Suffolk and so I'm expected to help get prepared (loading the cases, checking the car over, etc) BUT just had to listen to as much of this as possible.

Have managed to hear the first 7 tracks and as usual, they're all of a high standard.

Like the Exciting Legion Aires track best on 1st hearing. Probably coz it's the most familiar, seemingly taking the Temps "I Wish It Would Rain" as it's inspiration.

Pity these old gospel 45's are gettin so hard to find these days.

That Exciting Legion Aires track has got me interested in stuff on the D-Vine Spirituals label now.

What are the tracks by Evelyn Taylor, the Kingdom Aires, the Jackson Golden Aires, Supreme Travelers, M&N Singers, Sensational Six. Elder J Ward & the Gospel Four and the Gospel Wymics like ?

They certainly did make some great (gospel & soul) music in Memphis back in the day.

Thanks so much for taking the time to check this mix out, Roburt! The D-Vine Spirituals label is pretty great, as a whole.....from memory, the Evelyn Taylor is a piano led straight ahead gospel, I'm unsure on the Kingdom Aires, but here's some clips of the other titles you mention, plus a great cut by the Gospel Four;

 

Spool through this mix to find the Gospel Wymics;
