Professor Harold Boggs
Lord Give Me Strength – Early Recordings 1952 to 1964Nashboro/Gospel Friend, 1950s/Early 60s. New Copy
CD...$16.99
19.98
The first full length collection we've ever seen to focus on the soulful gospel work of Harold Boggs – one of the greatest male lead singers of the pre-soul generation! Right from the start, Boggs was a hell of a singer, and a great songwriter too – and he first entered the business ... CD
Gospelaires
Moving Up – The Early Years 1956 to 1965Gospel Friend (Germany), Late 50s/Early 60s. New Copy
CD...$16.99
19.99
Fantastic work from the Gospelaires – a group from Dayton, Ohio – but one who recorded most of the music here down in Houston – where they issued some tremendous singles for the Peacock label! The group are incredible – and sing with a hard-edged frenzy that's maybe more ... CD
Violinaires
Groovin With Jesus (180 gram pressing)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 ... LP, Vinyl record album
Pastor TL Barrett
Like A Ship (Without A Sail)Mt Zion/Numero, 1971. New Copy (reissue)
LP...$13.99
18.98
A soul record we'd put up there with some of our favorites produced in Chicago during the early 70s – a gospel album from Pastor TL Barrett, but one that's gone on to legendary status among funk and soul collectors over the years! Barrett works here with his Youth For Christ Choir, of Mt. ... LP, Vinyl record album
Elder Jeffrey Roberson & The New Life Singers
Old Time WayBlack Diamond/High Jazz (Switzerland), 1982. New Copy (reissue)
LP...$30.99
31.98
From his look on the cover, Jeffrey Roberson is hardly an "elder" – although he definitely brings a sense of wisdom and knowledge to the spirit of the grooves on this set! The album's one of those great lost crossovers between gospel and modern soul – upbeat and clubby on ... LP, Vinyl record album
Concord/Craft, 1950s/Early 60s. New Copy 2CD
CD...$22.99
24.99
A fantastic collection of postwar gospel – one that really keeps the spirit of the "jukebox" in the title! The tunes here are all upbeat, and often share a lot with R&B material of the 50s – especially the vocal group numbers, which often echo more secular modes of early ... CD
Narroway, 1950s/1960s. New Copy 2 CDs
CD...$24.99
29.98
A fantastic set of gospel tracks from the 50s and 60s – one that definitely takes the Civil Rights theme in the title seriously, but in ways that are often a bit more subtle than you might expect! Gospel music was key to the strivings of under-represented Americans during these years – ... CD
Nashboro/Third Man, 1950s/Early 60s. New Copy
A fantastic collection of postwar gospel recordings from the legendary Nashboro Records – one of the most important imprints for the music back in the 50s and 60s! We rank the work of Nashboro right up with the famous Houston-bred productions of Peacock Records – and as Peacock was ... LP, Vinyl record album
Numero, Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy
LP...$11.99
19.99
Killer gospel work from a small Chicago label – most of it pretty darn funky and soulful as well! The label sticker on the album's cover states a link too musical roots in the deep south – but the overall sound here is more in that wonderful hybrid of spiritual and secular that ...

Soul Stirrers
Resting EasyChecker, 1966. Very Good-
Sockin gospel soul from The Soul Stirrers – an album recorded with some distinct traces of the secular soul production of the Chess Chicago scene, and some great production by Gene Barge! In a way, the overall feel of the set is almost the same as the mid 60s work by The Impressions – ... LP, Vinyl record album
Blue Aquarius
Blue AquariusTruth, 1973. Very Good+ Gatefold
A very strange one for Stax! The record came out on Stax's Truth subsidiary – and like most of the records on that imprint, it had a religious bent to it. However, unlike most of the other acts on the label, who were Memphis based, this one appears to be British – and also followers ... LP, Vinyl record album
