Bringing In The Sheaves In 1966, Colonel Sanders funded the pressing of 30,000 vinyl records for a children's Christian mandolin band, who then returned the favor by billing themselves as "The Colonel Sanders Mandolin Band" and dressing up like him, all in the Colonel's famous white suit and black string tie for live performances. Band leader Gene Hall, who founded the band of his sixth and seventh grade students from Finchville Elementary School outside of Shelbyville, Kentucky. It was in that town, 30 miles east of Louisville, that Gene realized the financial benefit to be gained by teaming up with Colonel Sanders, who moved there after opening KFC and later grew the company into an international phenomenon starting in the late 60s. The group's only record, a 15-track self-titled album that runs under 25 minutes, is still available at the original KFC location in Corbin, Kentucky, having had a remarkable sales history since its pressing and distribution in the mid-60s. From the back cover: The children live only a few miles from The Colonel's home, Blackwood Hall, which is a landmark in the Shelbyville area. The Colonel was greatly impressed by the group and soon bought all the children new mandolins. Also, the Colonel has helped the children to make this record and plans to place 30,000 of these LP records in Canada alone. Because the Colonel is a famous Kentuckian, we were honored to have the band incorporated as The Colonel's Mandolin Band. Now, for The Glorification Of Christ, the Colonel and the mandolin band send this record into the world. (web bio) Check out our listings for more vinyl records, CD's & more. Save on shipping!
