Again, I'll use basically the same picture they we viewed yesterday.
What is unusual about this Skylite album?

Jesus giving the peace sign is unusual. Outside of that I have no clue.

The songs are not listed on the front. Were there 2 releases on Skylite?
Or are you photoshopping again?
JohnCBoy - January 17, 2008 02:57 PM (GMT)
I did photoshop out the song titles to make it "fit" the question better.
This is now supposed to be an LP cover and not an EP cover.
OK?
:D

Would the answer have to do with the title of the album ??

I'm not sure on this, but my guess is that Frank Stamp's Stamps Quartet never recorded on Skylite. LB

Mark's answer is as close as any. I just need a little more information before I give him the "correct" sign.

John, we have this Stamps album "O What A Savior" and I believe their personel was Jerry Redd, Roger McDuff, Terry Blackwood and "Big" John Hall and (I think) Joe Roper-Frank Stamps isn`t on the album.

John, I know there was a another release of this cover with a picture of the quartet and it was the newer version of the Stamps or I think I remember that correctly. I do not have these albums so I am not sure which group actually sang on the record.
Is this sorta what you are getting at?

There were 2 releases of this LP -- one with Frank Stamps & that group was pictured on the front. That was followed by a release with the reorganized group pictured.

Dean is exactly right.
The first version had the group often referred to as the "Stamps Office Quartet". This group did very little traveling other than some regional singing conventions. According to the liner notes, the group consisted of Loy Hooker-tenor, Arthur Watson-lead, Billy Porter-baritone, Jimmie Grisham-bass, Cecil Pollock-piano, Sally Stamps-organ, Frank Stamps-soloist.
The second version featured the Stamps with Joe Roper, Jerry Redd, Terry Blackwood, Roger McDuff, and John Hall. It had almost the same cover art except there was a small picture of the reformed quartet in the lower right hand corner of the cover.
The song titles were different except for the title song.
It also had the same catalogue number.
. . . and as I mentioned before, the actual cover I used for the picture was an EP of the first version of the record.

I'm with Mark on this Photoshoppe conspiracy, did you photoshoppe the barcode off MrCBoy? :ph43r:

Why would a record company use the same catalogue number for two completely different recordings? Besides confusing fans you think it would confuse the reccord company in terms of tracking sales or product inventory. Then again maybe they were running short on new numbers. ;)

Skylite did some strange things. For instance, there were 2 lp's that had the same catalog number but they were by 2 totally different groups. The Speer Family "Garden Of Melody" and the Rhythm Masters "It Must Be The Man In The Sky" both had the catalog number 6013. There was no 6014 ever released.
