That Great Judgement Day

Here we have a late gospel 78 – Savoy 4125, “That Great Judgement Day” backed with “He’s All I Need” by the Roberta Martin Singers from mid-1959.  Savoy had a great gospel catalog.

What do you mean the last year?

Not covered in this site are children’s records (Peter Pan, Disney, etc.) that were issued on 78 rpm until the mid-1960s.  Also not covered are commercially issued 78 records that were issued into mid and late 1960s in countries outside of the USA (India, South Africa, Philippines, etc.).  Not even Canadian or British releases.

Also, I want to express my thanks to Discogs, eBay, John Tefteller, 45worlds, 45 cat, and all others for the images used on this non-commercial blog.
