Ensign/VSOP, 1960. New Copy
Great group gospel work from The Stars Of Bethlehem – one of those great old-style harmony combos who had many of the same elements as doo wop in their music! The vocal interplay here is really wonderful – joyous, but also with a wickedly secular undercurrent too – surprisingly

Numero, Late 60s. New Copy
A beautiful batch of gospel work from Shirley Ann Lee – a vocalist who originally worked the spiritual circuit in a trio with Candi Staton! The album's an unusual one – put together partly as a way of promoting Shirley's music to a larger audience – which means it's got a few

Mississippi, 1960s/1970s/1980s. New Copy LP & 7 Inch
An excellent collection of rare regional gospel recordings from the 60s through the 80s – all of them with a timeless feel that really fits other collections of this nature from Mississippi Records! Despite the vintage of the tracks, most of them have a very spare sound – just vocals

Checker, Early 70s. New Copy (reissue)
Damn funky gospel from The Violinaires – easily one of the hippest spiritual albums you could ever hope to find on Chess! The groove here is gritty Chicago funk, put together by Gene Barge with lots of heavy bass on the bottom – in a blend that's somewhere between the Cadet/Concept

Mississippi, 1950s/1960s/1970s/1980s. New Copy
Deep, raw and moving gospel recordings from 50s to as late as the 80s – but the material really exists out of time – real people singing for their souls! A stirring batch of rare African American church recordings, gritty soul & blues styled numbers, and all around wonderful

Gloriously soulful and passionate postwar gospel – one of the best ever compilations on the Tompkins Square label – shining a powerful light on rare African American church recordings, street corner sermon style numbers, choir backed testifying soul & blues, and straight up

Light In The Attic, 1971. New Copy
A soul record we'd put up there with some of our favorite ones that the city of Chicago produced in the early 70s – and it's literally a soul record – a beautiful gospel set by Pastor TL Barrett & The Youth For Christ Choir, of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, on the city's south side!
