Supreme Jubilees
It’ll All Be Over
Light in the Attic 120 – re-issue LP on limited OPAQUE MAROON & TRANSPARENT YELLOW vinyl

A band of brothers and cousins, the group was founded from two familes: brothers Joe and Dave Kingsby with Daves son David Kingsby Jr. and keyboardist Leonard Sanders alongside his brothers Phillips (drummer), Tim (bassist), and Melvin (tenor). The Sanders family grew up singing together in the Witness of Jesus Christ church in Fresno, CA, where dad Marion was pastor. Guitarist Larry Pricewho belonged to neither familycompleted the line-up that recorded the groups firstand (prophetically) onlyalbum, Itll All Be Over.Released in 1980 on the groups own S&K (Sanders & Kingsby) label, Itll All Be Over pinpoints a fatalistic mood exemplified by the title. Its lyrics drawn from the Old Testament, its sound from the church by way of the disco, and its feel captured by the album covera low, orange sun setting over the Pacific ocean. It is, as Jessica Hundley observes in the brand new liner notes, both apocalyptic and seductive.
Making the album was not easy. Sessions began in Trac Record Co, a country and western studio in Fresno, CA, where the engineer was so put out by the groups requests for heavier bass in the mix that he stopped the session and kicked them out. They left with four songsone side of the albumand the record was completed at Sierra Recording Studio in Visalia, CA. Leonard Sanders reported having a spiritual encounter in his sleep while in Visalia; the next day, he recorded his part of the albums title track in a single take.After the LP was pressed, the group took their music on tourfirst in California, where they played with acts including the Gospel Keynotes, The Jackson Southernaires, and the Mighty Clouds of Joy, and then on an ill-fated trip to Texas. A follow-up album was planned for 1981, but it never materialized; having slept sometimes a dozen to a room in Texas, the men in the band were reluctant to leave jobs, wives, and kids for the hardship of the road. The group simply fizzled out, even if the friendships never did.
A copy of the album sold to a fan on that Texan tour made its way to a San Antonio record store where it was discovered nearly three decades later by collector David Haffner (Friends of Sound). He managed to track down the Kingsby-Sanders clan at a Fourth of July barbecue in Fresno in 2004. And he eventually introduced the group to Light in the Attic, which now proudly presents the album restored, remastered, and available to the public for the first time.
