Soul Albums
Barren Special - The search is on - Southern Sound Productions / EX/VG+ / £400 (Very rare 1978 gospel album out of Theodore, Alabama. Including the superb ballad in “You better find yourself”, “It’s rewarding” and “The Barren Special’s prayer”, plus the midtempo dancer “A place we’ve been”. Cover is just south of EX, still in shrink but has a little wear on top seam towards the opening.)

Hunter Singers - Precious moments [no label] / VG+/VG+ / £200 (Very rare/obscure gospel album with a very soulful and deep sound. “Beatitudes”, “I’m not worried”, “I’ll still love you” and “If Jesus is knocking” are all killer ballads.)
