The Stanley Brothers - Hymns And Sacred Songs Vol. 1
(King EP-455) c1959
This 7" EP was the first of three releases, each of which featured four tracks from the Stanley's Hymns And Sacred Songs LP.
The EP comes housed in a card cover, with B&W print on front and rear. The colour front picture is printed on a separate piece of paper and stuck over the top.
Not all copies came with the picture sleeve cover, judging by the number of EPs for sale with generic bags... I don't have one with the picture sleeve, so if anyone can provide better images of the picture sleeve please get in touch via the Contact page - Many thanks!
All four tracks can now be found on The Early Starday/King Years, 1958-1961 4xCD box set.
For a detailed breakdown and background to the Stanley's sessions, check Gary B. Reid's The Music Of The Stanley Brothers book, pages 94-95 and 140-141.
