Love a list, anybody got any more of these, I feel a listing coming on...

I believe the Staples were actually signed to Epic when D-Town Devotional #206 escaped, so that's probably why it also came out as by the Stapleton Singers.

 

The D-Town Devotional Series has some really nice recordings.  One of my favourite Gospel recordings is # 204:

No doubt that Columbia/Epic's lawyers contacted Mr. Hanks.

That Meditations 45 is great, hard filed here.
