It took me just a few weeks to find it, and judging from some of the comments on here I really consider myself very fortunate to have found such a good copy that quickly. I agree with all the praise for the album. It's every bit as good as "Black and White" - probably even better in my opinion. I also agree that "Here Comes the Bride," "Mender of Broken Wings" (I'm introducing that one to my choir next Sunday), and "Bought by the King" are fantastic, but I'd like to throw out another great song from the album: "Hill of Hope." That song gives me chills every time I hear it. I'd like to say I've also been very moved by the singing of Pat Hoffmaster. I have a Blackwood Brothers album featuring him and he's great on that too. I would love to have met him. I picked up an LP copy of “The World Needs to Hear” a couple of months ago, and it’s in terrific condition.

My wife and I wore out a cassette copy, and I can't find a CD of it anywhere. One of the best Gospel recordings ever. Let me know how to get a copy.

I'd be glad to share the songs. I played the piano for The Sound - and did most of the arrangements on that album - and even I only have 2 copies of the album (one unopened). I also have a copy of the single we put out of "Here Comes the Bride" :) It was really sweet - white vinyl, LP-size. We released it in June and sent wedding invitations/announcements to the radio stations about a month or so before we sent out the single. I also have Exodus' EP on CD-ROM and will share those, as well. They're Christmas tunes, but nice anyway. Pat was a great guy -- we lost something special when he passed.

I have been trying to find cassette or CD from The Sound/Blackwoods/Singing Americans that have him as featured Tenor. Still looking.

However, it was nowhere near as good as the Sound's version. :) Faith, I forgot to mention when I was last here that I heard that and too was surprised when I heard the Kingsmen’s version.

A third one is, I've Been Bought By The King. Great stuff indeed. It took me well over a decade to find ANYTHING by the sound, and even longer to find this one. Part of the problem was not knowing album titles, part is that internet searches for "The Sound" and LP or some combo brings up far too many results, and third, the latter stuff may have only been issued on tapes.

I can't believe that other people remember the early Sound recordings. They were awesome; too bad I don't have my old tapes anymore. Anyone know where I could get some replacements? (Avery, if you find out, please let me know!) Btw, do any Sound fans recall that the Kingsmen did a cover of 'Here Comes The Bride' on their 'You're Not Alone' recording? I remember when I first heard that I was impressed that they knew the song. WOW! I can’t believe that other people remember the early Sound recordings.

Anyone know what the Dad & Son Burke (Charlie and Dewayne) are up to nowadays? Can’t help out with the song hunt, but the Singing Americans mention kind of triggers a “Whatever Happened To…” moment.
