Comment:	Hi John - Just finished reading the great article on the wonderful Rev. Gates and saw your question concerning the gates Okeh, which is actually from around 1927 - Okeh records typically have a much earlier patent date around the rim of the label (i.e. "1913") but were typically releases from the late 1920s, when on the black or red "Electric" labels. Rev. Gates originals such as yours usually sell in the $50 to $100 range if in excellent condition. They were good sellers, and most of them are not considered super valuable, however, the sermons and singing are a real treat! His issues from the early depression years on Okeh (1930 to 1932) command higher prices, as do his later issues on Bluebird, which aren't as commonly found as his 1920s recordings. Hope this is of some help!
