RCA issued this LP in 1953, only a few years after Shea had come to prominence with Billy Graham's crusades and recorded his first record for the label.

| George Beverly Shea |
Bev Shea has appeared here twice before, but this is the first full LP from him that I've presented. The choir and orchestra accompanying him are unnamed but the pianist is Tedd Smith and the organist Paul Mickelson, both of whom were associated with Billy Graham. The sound is excellent.

I don't think I've seen this one before. Is it a ten inch, I can't tell by looking at it. Oh, wait, aren't all the LPM-3XXX numbers 10"ers? At least until they started using those numbers for the 12"ers later on. Either way, nice share.
ReplyDeleteErn - It is a 10-incher.
ReplyDeleteWas gonna pass, then you ran down the songlist and mentioned the John Jacob Niles penned "I Wonder As I Wander" which my Mother used to sing at Christmastime at church and you mentioned "There's A Song In The Air" which was HER Mother's favorite Christmas Song.
