every time i read one of Andy's accounts of Shrine i think how brilliant he was to pursue the label.

well done Ace, and all involved.

Well done Ady and Ace....

...and thanks to Andy for racking up those monumental phone bills during the chase...

Congratulations to all involved. Everything about Shrine is the stuff of legends. 

They’d be nice in a limited edition 7” 45 boxed set format too methinks!

Nice to see Shrine get a new lease of life and some quality releases to showcase the label.  I would imagine there are many out there with lots to learn about the label given the influx of "new" people to the scene.  It deserves all the fuss the Loma releases got.

I wonder if buying the masters came with a sweetener? Maybe a full set of mint shrine 45s with intact labels😂

great to see some new exposure to the label 👍

Haha, I doubt it though.  If I remember reading rightly Eddie didn't have any 45s, the masters for Horace Lps came from the Guy who owned the studio, Edgewood?

As it states above ... The acts included talented and established Washington and Baltimore acts

.... I guess a lesser established act from Baltimore too ... 

 

Whichever is Number 3 (Thomas Circle, Washington DC), it was the home Shrine Records (the town house on the left we believe). The photo is from 1968 or just after, at that time it was a radical centre in the City.

Can I ask, does this Lp have better audable tracks than the Horaces releases, given there has been 30 years since those came out?

For the next volume, can I request

????? - I want to hold your hand

Prophets - my latest, might be me my greatest

 

a quick 'release day today' shout

thanks for the shout

Every track I’ve heard on this label is a killer! Dream My Heart and Stop Overlooking Me, great tunes and from what I know the warehouse burnt down in a riot so the records are pretty rare! 

“One Gold Piece” will always be in my top 10. A sensational song.
