While we're on this subject, I have a Plymouth lp of Best Loved Spirituals, 
artists identified only as "The Spiritual Singers" (or "Spiritualsingers" on 
the front cover). Standard gospel quartet style with guitar. I wonder what the 
source is for this one? Matrix numbers PL-66-1444 and PL-66-1453.

Here are the tracks, in case anyone recognizes these as coming from 
Continental, Crown, some transcription label or whatever.

PRECIOUS MEMORIES/MY DUNGEON SHOOK/JOSHUA/DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE/THERE'LL BE A 
JUBILEE/EZEKIEL SAW THE WHEEL/I OPENED MY MOUTH TO THE LORD/SELAH GOSPEL TRAIN 
(hey, Thomas, could this be..?)/NOAH/STANDING ON THE HIGHWAY/SIT DOWN/I'LL BE 
LISTENING SOMEWHERE/WAKE NICODEMUS/ONE MOMENT OF GLORY

I've just done a quick sample of each track and all sound like the Gates or 
similar, except for SIT DOWN and I'LL BE LISTENING SOMEWHERE which are a mixed 
gospel chorus, out of character with the rest of the album.
