Well, I finally got a set up that will allow me to rip my 45's to mp3. The sound isn't perfect but it's ok and I have nothing but time on my hands for awhile so I will probably doing multiple posts each day for the next few weeks. Each day you can expect to hear at least one of my gospel 45's.
Gospel and I have an interesting history that goes back to my pre-Bar Mitzvah days when my father and I would go to a Nazarene church in Smithtown, NY to listen to gospel music. We were probably the only Jewish people there but we were always welcomed. More recently I owe a lot of my knowledge of gospel 45's (and other genres as well) to my boy Dave over at Friends of Sound in Austin. Before I left he hooked me up with about 25 gospel records all on the Peacock label. This though, I picked up at Intoxica Records in London.
Since I bought this 45 I have played it at least 50 times. This may well be my favorite gospel song at the moment and I really hope you enjoy it. I don't know much about it though there is some amazing information about this band available here: http://books.google.ae/books?id=FaGFB4dG-_QC&pg=PA246&dq=pilgrim+jubilees+mr.+president&hl=en&cd=1#v=onepage&q=pilgrim%20jubilees%20mr.%20president&f=false
What I do know is it is an anti-Korean War song set place in the Vietnam era. It was off an lp that contained several protest songs, the only ones this prolific band would record over their long career span.
