You are bidding on the rare LP:
Washington Phillips- What Are They Doing In Heaven Today?, released by Mississippi Records (MR-006) out of Portland, OR. Limited Edition of 500 copies. Out-of-Print. Includes the Dolceola insert.
*When it comes to pre-war Gospel music, it seems that Washington Phillips resided in a place that was all his own. He can't really be compared to any artist of that time or any time, for that matter. To put it simply, listening to this record might be the closest taste of heaven that you'll ever get while here on Earth. Phillips' music is the most peaceful, genuine & strangest in the stacks. "Heavenly" is the only way it can be described. Some believe Phillips performed on the Dolceola (a strange, miniature grand piano), but Frank Walker, who first recorded Washington, claimed that he played a homemade instrument that, "nobody on earth could use except him." This features some timeless beauties of the sincerest of music, including "Lift Him Up, That's All", "What Are They Doing In Heaven Today?", "Denomination Blues Pts. 1 & 2" and "I Was Born to Preach the Gospel".*
