Staple Singers —
Pray On ... LP Epic, Mid 60s. Very Good ...
$19.99
Rootsy material recorded for Epic in the 60s, before the group went over to Stax and started cutting secular soul! These sides are much more in a traditional gospel quartet mode – but the group's powerful vocals and strongly soulful approach makes the tracks rock with the strength of some of their secular material. Titles include "It's Been A Change", "Waiting For My Child", "Pray On", "John brown", "The Tramp On The Street", and "How Great Thou Art". (Soul, Gospel)LP, Vinyl record album
(Original yellow label pressing – nice and clean. Cover has two light pieces of tape, but is nice overall.)
8 tracks from Rev Milton Brunson's Thompson Community Singers, Greg O'Quin-N-Joyful Noyze, Marvin Sapp, Kelli Williams, and CD Hawkins & Singers. CD
(Out of print, punch through barcode.)

Staple Singers —
Why ... LP Epic, 1966. Near Mint- ...
Out Of Stock
A record that begins with a question, and follows through with a sublime mix of social politics and spiritual energy! Pops Staples asserts himself a bit more than before with his songwriting here – including the title classic "Why (Am I Treated So Bad)", which went onto become one of THE anthems of the Civil Rights era! That energy follows in more original songs by Pops, and in his great reworkings of older traditional numbers – on a set that also has the group working with producer Billy Sherrill, who seems to give them even more power than before, but without commercializing their music at all. Titles include "Why", "I've Been Scorned", "I'm Gonna Tell God", "Move Along Train", "Step Aside", "King Of Kings", "What Are They Doing", and "Will The Circle Be Unbroken". (Soul, Gospel)LP, Vinyl record album
(Yellow label stereo pressing, matrix ending 1C. Cover has a small split on the bottom and a fewsmall stains on the back.)
