Description
Being offered is a copy of "The Joy Of Knowing Jesus" by the Revelaires. This ULTRA RARE, HARD TO FIND XIAN recording is on the Temple Records label, (LST 390).
The lyrics of the song “Voice Of Harold” from the R.E.M. LP Dead Letter Office is composed entirely of the notes on the back cover of the Revelaires Gospel Record “The Joy of Knowing Jesus”. While recording the bands 2nd Album in Charlotte, NC’s Reflection Sound Studio, Michael Stipe was having difficulty....
“The recording sessions were difficult for lead singer Michael Stipe, who, among the band, was particularly worn out by the band's 1983 tour schedule. Getting usable vocal tracks from Stipe was difficult; Dixon recalled that he and Stipe would show up around noon each day before the rest of the band, but that "he was kind of shut down, and it was difficult to get him to open up". While recording the song "7 Chinese Brothers", Stipe sang so quietly that Dixon could not hear him on the tape. Frustrated, the producer climbed a ladder to a spot above the recording booth Stipe was in and found a gospel record titled The Joy of Knowing Jesus by the Revelaires, which he then handed to the singer in an attempt to inspire him. Stipe began reciting the liner notes from the album audibly, which enabled Dixon to move on to recording the vocal track to "7 Chinese Brothers" properly[10] (the initial recitation take was later released in 1987 as "Voice of Harold" on the compilation Dead Letter Office).” --- Copy from popsike Information use only
