Sister Rosetta Tharpe - The Gospel Of Rock 'N Roll According To... [VINYL LP] Spain - Import date 10/04/2024

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. An undisputed yet underrated architect of what we now know as modern rock and roll, 1956's Gospel Train was an innovative for Sister Rosetta Tharpe in more ways than one. For starters, her first on the Mercury Records tag was also her first available from any tag on the then-new 12Inch long-playing , still the industry standard for vinyl albums today. Most importantly, Gospel Train took Sister Tharpe's distinctive blend of primordial electric guitar-driven blues and traditional gospel and harnessed it's power in a polished studio setting, backed by first-call session musicians including the vocal quartet the Harmonizing Four. The Verve Vault series is all-analog, cut from the original master tapes by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound and pressed on 180-gram vinyl.
