The Stanley Brothers - In Person Vol. 3

(King EP-469) c1961


EP Front Sleeve

This four track 7" EP was one of three which included tracks from the Stanley's In Person LP.

The EP comes housed in a card cover, with the B&W print on the back being on a paper slip which is pasted to the sleeve, overlapping and folded over on the three edges to the front. The front then has another piece of paper with the colour printed image of the In Person sleeve stuck over the top.

I don't have a copy of this one, so can't say whether Finger Poppin' Time is the undubbed or overdubbed version...

All four tracks can now be found on The Early Starday/King Years, 1958-1961 4xCD box set.

 

For a detailed breakdown and background to the Stanley's sessions, check Gary B. Reid's The Music Of The Stanley Brothers book, pages 100-102, 111-114, 142-143 and 150.
