This is a rare and highly collectible 78 RPM shellac record featuring the Rising Star Gospel Singers. Released on the Oakland, California-based label Big Town Recording, this disc showcases the raw and powerful vocal harmonies characteristic of mid-century American gospel music. The record features the tracks 'I Want Wings' (Side A) and 'Thou Servant's Prayer' (Side B), which are quintessential examples of the era's devotional sound.
Big Town Recording was a significant independent label known for capturing the vibrant West Coast gospel and blues scene of the 1950s. This specific pressing, identified by catalog numbers 1048 ATS and 1049 ATS, is a must-have for serious collectors of vintage gospel and early black vocal groups.
