This is a compilation of two lp's - one from 1959 and one from 1962. Each in itself is a masterpiece, and the combination of both on one CD is almost too much !
The first time I heard this cd I was alone at home, a little tired. It was raining outside but it was not too cold.
It was almost overwhelming. The emotional power of the music swept me away, and I felt the music to be the sweetest thing I have ever experienced. Whether in slow tunes such as Carry Me Home, Jesus Remembers, or Amazing Grace, or the faster tempos of Marry Don't You Weep or My Rock - every sound is perfection.
The ability of this group to create musical drama is outstanding, and the harmonies are at once smooth and interesting.
Every song is great - my favorites are the slow ones such as Carry me Home and Jesus Remembers, but it depends on the mood. This is necessary music.

I first became formiliar with the Swan Silvertones as a young boy about ten or eleven years old. My father being a member of a local gospel quartet would by their records so I guest you could I grew up listening to this group of fine singers. Those records are long lost or are now in the worst condition. Thats why anytime theirs a chance for me to purchase any of these collectables that I was so fund of as a young boy I won't hesitate. This is great music great songs. Their are several gospel groups I like but Swans have aways been my favorite.

This excellent disc contains two long out of print albums: "The Swan Silvertones" and "Saviour Pass Me Not"
