Description
ATTENTION GOSPEL COLLECTORS & ARCHIVISTS:
Offered here is an incredibly rare, UNDOCUMENTED 1976 FIRST PRESSING "Discovery Copy" of a 45 RPM single by The Gospelairs of Alabama. This record does not appear in major discography databases or recent auction archives, making it a must-have for serious collectors of Alabama Private Press and Black Gospel history.
Label: J.W.J. Production (Side A: "One More Time" / Side B: "What Is This")
Release Date: 1976
Matrix / Runout: Musicol 1749 / Musicol 1750 (Confirmed 1976 sequence from the legendary Musicol Recording Studio in Columbus, Ohio).
CONDITION & CARE:
• Ultrasonically Cleaned: This record has been professionally cleaned in an ultrasonic bath to ensure the highest possible audio fidelity and to remove decades of dust and debris.
• Visual Grade: Strong VG+. The labels are incredibly clean with no writing or stickers. The vinyl retains a high gloss. There are light surface hairlines/paper scuffs present, but they are not feelable and do not affect play.
• Audio: Because it has been ultrasonically maintained, it plays with the power and soul typical of a mid-70s Musicol pressing.
WHY THIS COPY?
This is a true "Ghost" record—likely the only 1976 first pressing of this specific J.W.J. release currently available. Between the regional Alabama origin and the high-end cleaning process, this is a "Top Shelf" addition for any collector of Deep Soul, Gospel, or Musicol-pressed rarities.
Shipping: Will be shipped securely in a professional 45 mailer with extra padding to ensure safe arrival.
