Reverend Sammie Rash is long-time pastor of United Baptist Church, Cleveland, MS.  In the early days of his ministry, he sang with many local quartets, including The Sons Of The South.  So far, none of the those recordings have turned up, except The Big Milton And The Sons Of The South Lp, by Designer Records, Memphis TN (see above photo).

Randy Spiritual Records, Gallatin, TN was a label that spun from a radio station that played Black Southern Music, back in the 1950's [when most Southern radio station avoided playing, what they termed "Race Music"......from that,  the idea was born to record black artists, mostly spiritual sermons, in the 1970's......

Goldmine Record Grading Standards used to grade record's condition.  Records in less than VG+ or NM, will be listed with additional descriptions of it flaws.  All records are guaranteed to play satisfactorily.  If your record doesn't play as described, or is not rated according to the Goldmine Standards, returns or resolutions are welcome.   However, I do encourage additional questions, or requests for soundclips, if you're not comfortable with the grading standards used - in order to reduce incidents of returns.  

Grades:

NM -   A near perfect record - new/unplayed

VG+    Clean record, free of major flaws

VG      Record with physical flaws, but plays OK, perhaps with light surface noise

 VG -   More visible flaws than a VG record; but, still plays, with some noise; though, not overpowering

G+/G/Fair  - Records with more flaws than a VG- record [historical, collection fillers of DJ's, with noise reducing equipment]
