Old Records And Songbooks For Sale

Through SGHistory.com, I frequently get requests for info on where to purchase old records and print music. I don't know if this is a recent addition to SGMA.org or not. I'd never noticed it before. The Southern Gospel Music Association now has old records (and songbooks and old issues of Singing News) for sale via what I assume is a toll telephone number (865 prefix). The titles and prices are listed online.

Now THIS is a service SG collectors and fans should embrace wholeheartedly.

The SGMA started out strong by selling prints from commissioned Mitchell Tolle paintings that featured famous artists (the Lister print is my favorite). Then their fund-raising efforts became focused on stuffed bears and celebrity baseball games during NQC in Louisville. (This may be the last year for the ball game, by the way. They're tearing down the stadium next year.)

In comparison, dealing in old records and other classic products makes a lot of sense. What better way to raise funds for maintaining the SGMA than by selling the very history you're preserving? The prices are great, too, ranging from $2 to $15. I do wish they would include some indication of the quality.

Update (8:32 PM, 07/26/07):
Daniel Mount sez: This has been up for a year or more. I've purchased from it before, and was very pleased with the records I got. However, the page is hopelessly outdated--there is a record for sale there that I tried to purchase but was told was out of stock several months ago.

Well, that stinks. There's not much point in doing something like this if you aren't going to bring it up to date once a month or so.
