If you’re lucky, you can also catch the Rev. Al Green leading his Full Gospel Tabernacle Church service.
~35,000 records is an astoundingly large collection, especially for a focused collection. A huge number of these must be one-of-a-kind that would have been forever lost without the work of this collector.
