1. Rejected Masters
The rejected designation is for masters that were recorded without fault but withheld from release by RCA Victor. In most cases, Gibson re-recorded these songs a short time later. With few exceptions, the arrangements heard on the new recordings are nearly identical to the originals, with only minor changes in personnel or style.
2. The Jordanaires
This group consists of Gordon Stoker (tenor, manager), Neal Matthews, Jr. (tenor, leader), Hoyt Hawkins (baritone) and Hugh Jarrett (bass). Ray Walker replaces Hugh Jarrett effective June 24, 1958.
