[Ham-Computers] Is Amazon.com a "good guy"

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Phil,

I will check here fo ryou at RareBird Records. You need to find a store 
locally, or in your area, that specializes in old vinyl albums. Due to the 
current "Oldies" rage, many such stores exist and often sell reissues of the 
original single or album. The reissue I am speaking of is 'not' remastered 
or enhanced, it is simply being reissued in 2006, as opposed to 1966.

P.S. You really should have done the obvious Phil, called a local religious 
vender in your area, here it is called Sunshine Bible Shop etc. They carry 
the gospel music and those in your area would also and be able to order 
them.
