RARE BLACK DOWNHOME GOSPEL BLUES 45: BANK SISTERS of Flint, Michigan CARTER 4134
The band on this obscure gospel 45 (electric guitar, bass & drums) sounds as if they would be at home in a blues juke joint. Mother's Plea, with a moaning male lead vocal by Rev. Ireland, is especially bluesy, while the flip, with Francis Bank singing lead and male and female voices backing, is an uptempo gospel rocker. Produced by Rev. C. Carter.
Has some scuffs and small scratches that cause small skips at the beginning of Mother's Plea and during Pray On.
Both sides are available to hear on Soundcloud. Click the links below:

GRADING:
LPs, 45s, and EPs are graded M (mint), NM (near mint), VG+, VG (very good), VG-, G+, G (good), G-, F (fair), and P (poor).
A NM record will show no more than slight handling wear. A VG+ record may have some visible scuffs and light scratches and plays well with little surface noise. Some scratches on records graded VG and VG- may be deep enough to feel with your fingernail, or there may be scratches or groove wear throughout that cause surface noise, but the record still plays well. On records in the G+, G and G- range the level of the music is still above the surface noise caused by scuffs, scratches and groove wear. Surface noise may be as loud as the music on records graded F and louder than the music on P records. P records are likely to be unplayable.
Picture sleeves and EP jackets graded VG+ have only slight wear; jackets graded VG are more worn but still intact unless defects are noted. G jackets show definite damage and F and P jackets are probably falling apart. Splits, markings, cut corners and other defects will be noted.
