Thread Name: The Tell Tale Singers
Subject: RE: The Tell Tale Singers
Looks as if that "Gospel Favorites" album on the fake "folkways" label is the same as the Vox album, with the Goldenaires.

The information on Discogs is mighty slim, unfortunately -- the Aravel album was released in 1963, and the Vox album in 1964; and the Production Manager on the Aravel album was Bob Borchardt, who had also worked on other Aravel releases featuring Pete Seeger, the New Lost City Ramblers, Los Indios Taba-Haras, plus a folk-blues compilation album. Interestingly, the Tell Tale Singers album is "Released by special arrangement with Folkways Records,"as is the Pete Seeger album and the folk-blues compilation. I'll have to check my copy of MAKING PEOPLE'S MUSIC to see if any mentions are made of the Tell Tale Singers.
