General William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, recorded 'Rope Wanted' and 'Don't Forget' on Columbia 2074 — one of the very few recordings attributed to Booth personally, made in his extreme old age before his death in 1912. This is a historically extraordinary document: the voice of the Salvation Army's founder on disc.
