One day I was searching for "bad" Gospel album covers on the internet and I stumbled across a website for the Rainbow label (Rainbow Sound, Inc.). I'd never heard of it, but it began in the early 60s and in 1969 a guy named Bob Cline was brought in as a full time engineer and manager. After that, many of the albums said in the credits that the artist was backed up by The Bob Cline Singers.
Their website says they were one of the first to make sound-tracts for Gospel singers to record with. According to the website, they had some pretty outlandish (and unintentionally funny) album covers. The art director must've been high most of the time (or just not very good at his job).
The website says, "Rainbow Sound Inc. was sold in 1982 and under new ownership the label failed quickly."
This website that I'm talking about is an "ever expanding...discography for the label Rainbow Sound Inc." It's actually a blog. You can find it here:
I noticed most of these are on the Rainbow label. What's the back story?
