You Better Get Ready
Savoy Gospel 1978-1986 VINYL LP x 2 HJRLP081
Volume three: seventeen gems of fierce funk, rapturous soul and transcendent disco and boogie, super-charged with celebration and affirmativeness, loaded with roaring choirs, rocking horns and popping bass guitars, from the years leading up to Savoy’s acquisition by Malaco. Some seriously rare cuts here; for instance, the stupendous opener by Edith Moreno only appeared as a blank-label promo, in a tiny run. Spot-glossed, gatefold sleeve, with gorgeous printed inners. A1. Edith Moreno - Get Ready For Judgement Day A2. World Wonders - The Cost of Living (Is Very High) A3. The Helen Hollins Singers - He Gave It To Me A4. Solomon Burke - I Know He Lives In Me A5. The Gospelaires Of Dayton Ohio - God Helps Those Who Help Themselves B1. Genobia Jeter - Things _Have Got To Get Better B2. The Lady Lois Snead with the Interdemoninational Mass Choir of Atlanta, GA - I Found Out What You Mean To Me B3. Charisma - Protected B4. The Stan Lee Revue - Make Every Day Count C1. The Sensational Williams Brothers - Sunday C2. The Holy Lights Of Baltimore, MD - It's Getting Late C3. The 4th Of May - Pass It On C4. The World Wonders Of Birmingham, ALA - Ain’ t It Good To be Here D1. James Cleveland And The Cleveland Singers - Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere D2. The Hollywood Stars - Come On Jesus D3. The Steele Family - Show His Love D4. Glenn Jones And The Modulations - It's All Right An extensive, sumptuous survey of surely the mightiest Gospel label of them all, Savoy.
Drawn from nigh-impossible-to-find 78s, sevens, twelves and LPs, hardly any of these recordings - perhaps none - have been reissued since their first release. Co-curated by Greg Belson, compiler of Divine Disco; with deep, extensive notes by Robert Marovich, author of A City Called Heaven: Chicago and the Birth of Gospel Music (University of Illinois), and host of the award-winning radio show Gospel Memories. Sound restoration and mastering at Abbey Road; vinyl pressed at Pallas. |
