Tight, clean, flat, sharp. Toned pages. Somewhat rusty staples. Stamps-Baxter Publishing Company was relatively short lived, blossoming from the early days of religious music on the radio and lasting to the Viet Nam War. They published in shape notes, always in four part harmony with piano accompaniment typical to most liturgical music. Sometimes--not often as I've seen it--with guitar chords. Always with full versification and always with music or indexes on the inside wraps. This is the first we've seen in a while as well as the first post WWII song book we've seen from them. Sometimes they published books dedicated to one or another popular trio or quartet: the Blackwood Brothers, for example. The Oak Ridge Boys would be with Stamps Baxter had they not been born 50 years too late. Winning bid pays economy shipping to any location serviced by domestic USPS including APO.
