Killer gospel funk rarity out of Las Vegas. Gospel Tornadoes 'Don't let the devil fool you' (Concrete) VG+ Price in US DOLLARS = $300 + postage Clip is for reference only and not from the copy on offer.

Here's the 44th installment of The Divine Chord Gospel Show which appears monthly on dublab.com. https://www.mixcloud.com/gregbelson/divine-chord-gospel-show-pt-44-with-guest-dj-eli-paperboy-reed/ This month, we were honored to have as our first ever guest on the show, Mr Eli 'Paperboy' Reed. The broadcast was extended into a 2 hour 'soundclash' special featuring all original 45's selected from our playboxes. For the 1st hour, I blended together a selection of r&b strollers & steppers, including a mighty version of 'Jericho' by The Melodic Singers. Check the incredible cut by Prophet G. Lusk. Amazing. Just a few deep soul cuts this month, before heading into funk territory, including a boss 45 from the Hightones. There's a sublime dancefloor take on the Florida Spiritualaires' 'I remember when' too. Then Eli 'Paperboy' Reed took over - mid way through the set, check out his 2 songs performed live in the studio. ....followed by a sweet selection of OG 45's for your entertainment. ALL KILLER, NO FILLER! Feel free to join the facebook group 'The Divine Chord Gospel Show'!

Eli's trademark soaring vocals and distinctive r&b sound have led him to perform all over the globe, including various key TV shows like 'Later with Jools Holland' and 'Live at Daryl's House'. He released his 4th LP last year, and it's clear that his career is going from strength to strength.

Delivery will be from California @ $4 within the US, $12.75 worldwide Rev T.R. Rice and the Singing Rice Family 'You'll never find another God like mine' (Tap) Weak VG (please check the clip) Price breakdown as follows = The wax has good gloss but looks like it wasn't previously housed in a sleeve. Some surface marks but no deep gouges and progressively plays better through the duration of the song. Here's an explanation about this rare disc. To date, I know of three copies in collectors circles....when I first heard this record, I had to have it immediately, so the seller put $250 on it. That's what I paid for my first copy so I'd like to get as much of that back as possible. I appreciate $250 is probably a reach for a weak VG conditioned disc for some no matter what the rarity, so I'd be interested in reasonable offers for this copy. Any questions, then please send me a PM. Thanks!

Here's the 43rd installment of The Divine Chord Gospel Show which appears monthly on dublab.com. https://www.mixcloud.com/gregbelson/divine-chord-gospel-show-pt-43-best-of-2014/ An hours worth of some of the tunes that either made it big into clubland, sounded awesome on the radio show, or have become personal favorites here at DCGS HQ. Each track has been plucked from the OG broadcast session, including voice overs, so you'll hear segues from each varying show thru the year. Assembling some kind of beautiful mess! For part 1, we kick things off with a stunner from 11th District Choir, as well as featuring the Champ label by way of the Piney Grove Singers. The amazing Fantastic Shadows are featured twice for good reason! Part 2 gives us the deep groove with killer cuts by The Invaders, The Vigilights, The Master Keys & Fantastic God's Creation. A clutch of jaw droppers. For pt. 3, it's club land territory! Some are set to explode in 2015, no doubt. Check 'em out here first!

I could be wrong Johnny, but I think big things are destined for this tune....the Plastic People club in London made this their last ever tune before they closed their doors for the last time recently. and Glastonbury last year went suitably bananas to it in 2014. Great tune for the dancefloor, no doubt!

Thanks so much to those of you that tuned in live to the last broadcast....here's the tracklisting....the mixcloud link will be live within the next 24 hours! Cheers all!
