More Greenes: “More Precious Than Gold”

From “gospelvideohub” via email this a.m., a golden gift: a link to what longtime readers know to be one of my favorite cuts …. well, pretty much ever: the Greenes’ “More Precious than Gold,” from Tenth Anniversary Live (the live video and live audio-only versions are remarkably similar, right down to Tony’s overlong prayer in the middle). Enjoy:

Plan B

Ok. So I’m really jonesin’ for a copy of the Greene’s 10th Anniversary Live project. I’ve called the Greenes office and emailed their webmaster … no luck. So plan B. Let’s make a deal. Who has a copy and is willing to offload it?

The Gold is Greene

Thanks to all who have suggested answers to my request for help about “he is to meeeeeeee more precious than gold.” Seems what I had in mind was “More Precious than Gold” from the Greene’s Tenth Anniversary Live project, not in regular circulation but available, I am told, by special order from the Greenes, which I shall straightaway undertake. Many thanks to everyone.

Help me out if you can

Years ago, maybe 10-15, I was in a beat up Ford Tempo trundling down some backroad in southeast Missouri and a friend popped a mutilated looking cassette tape in and told me to listen. It included an ending that I vividly recall even now: “He is to meeeeeeeee … he is toooooooo me. He is more precious than gold.” I think/thought it was the Perrys. It was, I can almost swear, live. I am, of course, prepared to be wrong about everything I remember other than those lyrics and the sound, which are seared in my mind. So anybody got any idea what I’m talking about and on what project I could find it?
