  9. Here's the mixcloud archive link for the Divine Chord Gospel Show pt. 47, originally broadcast on 27th May 2015 on dublab.com....movements through low slung funk, to soulful harmonies and swamp blues, rounding things off with some obscure crossover, modern soul and disco beats. A fine ride through an hours worth of tunes you might not have heard before. https://www.mixcloud.com/gregbelson/divine-chord-gospel-show-pt-47/ This month, we kick off with arguably the funkiest offering from one of gospel's biggest stars, Andrae Crouch....something a little different from this legend. Also featured are cuts from the essential Crowns of Glory LP, another sublime tune from Andrew Wartts & we give the amazing 45 by the Hightone's of Racine a spin....a stone cold killer! Pt. 2 features fantastic vocals from the Rocks of Harmony, before heading to swamp blues territory courtesy of Johnnie Billings & the Dixon Brothers. For pt. 3, we warm up the dancefloor with an obscure gospel disco session....highlights are from The Testimonial Singers and the super rare Reflection of Truth 45. The set is rounded off nicely by the club stormer by Gwen Carter...one currently getting major plays around Europe. Feel free to join the facebook group 'The Divine Chord Gospel Show'!

    The decimal point needs to be moved over two places to the left.......this is a $10 record......sounds like it too, both in condition and quality.
  16. Delivery from California @ $4 within the US, $12.75 worldwide The Powerful Singing Tornados - 'I find the road' (PDG International) M - $100 (**LAST COPY**) Great dancer from the same group that recorded as the Singing Tornados on Expression and presented the in demand 'Traveling through the land' 45. Out of Inglewood, CA. Very tough to find, and this is a clean minter. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/87406486/Powerful%20Singing%20Tornados.mp3
  17. Delivery from California @ $4 within the US, $18.75 worldwide for one LP. Gospelaires of Dayton, Ohio 'Rest for the weary' (Savoy) LP Cover = VG (3"top seam split), Vinyl = VG++ (close to M-) Price in US DOLLARS = $30 + shipping Contains the LP killer modern soul dancefloor mover 'Nowhere to run'. Please check the mp3, where you'll find two clips....the first recorded straight at zero pitch adjustment, the second recorded with the pitch adjusted to minus 4. I like to play it at the second variation....IMO gives it more punch and just works a bit better. So the choice, is yours! ;) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/87406486/Gospelaires%20of%20Dayton%2C%20Ohio.mp3

    Here's another rather embarrassing c/u from RNS.....1,000 quid??? I can see that the angle here is towards ripping off soulies who don't have any gospel knowledge.....not really into that myself, as the whole idea of my radio show is to share all the details of this awesome, relatively untapped music...if I know it, possibly played it on my show (as well in this case, comped it on the 'Holy Spirit!' Jewel comp), I'll happily pass on the info. There's even a youtube clip for this 45, uncovered natch. https://www.rarenorthernsoul.com/Rare-70s-80s/37123/same-old-bridge-cu/#product Is the Mighty Sons of Glory 'Don't forget the bridge' (Jewel) Whilst it's not the most readily available Jewel disc, it will crop up for sale, and should be no more than $50. GBP1k is gettin' ugly.
  19. Delivery from California @ $4 within the US, $12.75 worldwide The Reflections 'You don't love me' (Went) Strong VG++ (a shade under M-) Price in US DOLLARS = $30 + shipping Evergreen quality soul 45. Clip is not from the copy on offer and for reference only. Thanks!
  20. In about a months time, I'm gonna be heading off on my Euro DJ Tour 2015. I'll be posting all the details soon in the next coupla weeks....but f'now.....here's a mix I recorded 10 years ago, just before my move to California. A selection of killer cuts striding several genres that I was DJ'ing in and around London in 2005.....so not just soul events, but anywhere else that decided to give me some airtime. Hopefully you'll get to hear what's in the playbox this time around....would love to see ya at the club! https://www.mixcloud.com/gregbelson/london-funk-soul-45s-2005/
  21. This is a boot....AOE/Fryer has a legitimate reissue slated for release soon, and from what I could see on facebook, served notice to the bootlegger to remove this item from sale.

    Ummm, 'Unknown & unlisted, possibly only known copy'??? Somebody isn't doing very much research and blurting out false sales pitches. Hear it here, track 19, from DCGS pt. 42. https://www.mixcloud.com/gregbelson/divine-chord-gospel-show-pt-42-xmas-edition-2014/

    Almost certainly.....

    Greg Belson replied to a post in a topic in Look At Your Box
    A copy spiked on ebay not so long ago around the $80 mark, and I thought that was steep. I like it.....nice little stepper. That said, it's a $20 record on a sizable label. A 500 quid price tag is insanity.
