GOSPEARL
GosPearl (also known as Pearl Record Company) is a Baltimore, Maryland, gospel label that operated from 1981 to mid 1989/1990. The label seems to have started out as Pearl Record Company out of Newark, New Jersey, the name remained the same up until release 16010 when it had relocated to Baltimore, becoming known as GosPearl by 16014, the catalog numbers are the same and continue on from each other. GosPearl was initially distributed by New Birth records, out of Newark, New Jersey; however, it was eventually purchased by A.I.R. Records out of Atlanta, Georgia in 1986. There were only 48 lp's released to my knowledge, 16004 was allocated to 2 separate artists; it probably became one of A.I.R.'s earliest distributed labels, other labels distributed by A.I.R. were to include Church Door, Eternal Gold, Consolidating Sounds and Sweet Rain Records. I am unaware of any 45's being issued on GosPearl. The most prolific artists on GosPearl were Timothy Wright; The Singing Disciples, a local Baltimore group and, Douglas Miller. My favorite releases on the label are 16014, 16025, 16037 and 16043.
Release 16004 was issued twice, the release by Bishop C.L. Long is the rarer of the two; it was issued on Pearl Record Company out of Newark.
