The Stanley Brothers - Old Country Church / Pass Me Not

(Stateside SR-1852) c1967


Slip Cover

This is a very rare Japanese 7" which appears to have been issued in 1967, around the time of the 'Stateside' split compilation LP Bluegrass Special.

It comes with a foldout paper insert/slip with a B&W photo from the Good Old Camp Meeting Songs LP cover and lyric sheet for both songs.

The labels indicate that the material was taken from the 'Odeon' Japanese The Best Of The Stanley Brothers compilation.

The single can be found with one side a piece on The Early Starday/King Years, 1958-1961 and The King Years, 1961-1965 4xCD box sets.

 

For a detailed breakdown and background to the Stanley's sessions, check Gary B. Reid's The Music Of The Stanley Brothers book, pages 92-93, 118-119, 139 and 151-152.
