I've decided to sell my Shure white label shells as the carts/needles are just too fragile for my liking....I tried out one last set just recently and one needle bent in half during my set, rendering it useless. Maybe I've had a bad run with my last few needles, but I'm no turntablist and I do treat my records with care and attention. If anyone is interested in buying these, (2 x shells only with cases, brush & screwdriver in great condition), then please drop me a line and we'll work out a price. Personally, I've converted to using Technics shells with M44-7 cartridges and they've been a revelation.....can't recommend them enough.

First aired on 28th August 2013 Thanks so much to those that tuned in live to our latest broadcast........ Here's the 27th installment of The Divine Chord Gospel Show which appears monthly on dublab.com. https://www.mixcloud.com/gregbelson/divine-chord-gospel-show-pt-27/ This month, for the first section we feature the sensational vocals of Althea Davis from Little Shadows, as well as highlight two tracks surely destined for greater dancefloor plaudits. Check out the Walter Letts Gospel Singers out of Detroit & The Southern Travelers of Aniston, AL. ! For pt.2, killer rarities from the Traveling Kingsmen and the Wilnette Gospel Singers out of Los Angeles, round out a series of excellent deep soul cuts spanning 3 decades! And to close, we feature a whole grip of obscure releases from Soul Liberation's tough to find, non-LP 45 cut, as well as Truth & Devotions Champ release. We've flipped the Gospel Leaders 45 on Viv for the dancefloor destroyer 'Trouble', and head to 1987 for a much overlooked cut by the Bronner Brothers. Feel free to join the facebook group 'The Divine Chord Gospel Show'. Thanks!

Yes, that's an excellent tracklisting on that comp.........and Numero used my actual copy to master from, which leads me to think that there were no copies or tapes at source as they clear everything.

Cheers for the message......Jonah Thompson released at least 3 other 45's under this name, as well as Brother J.T.........all of them are out of NYC and so far, much easier to get hold of than 'Get involved'. Makes me think there must be some stock somewhere as he released more then one cut.......but I've had my feelers out for a coupla years now and as yet, turned up nothing in any quantity.....just the one spare which is long gone. Hope you get lucky!

Very tough to find....out of NYC, and the copy that went through ebay recently was only the third copy I've ever seen.

Ah, 'The Dazzler'.....I'll keep a look out

Nice LP but be weary of the mastering fault....all copies play with a high pitch hum throughout the whole set, mate. Massive shame as the music is pretty great!

Cheers for that Roburt......glad you're into that 45. Definitely been a big spin for me since filing a copy a while back.

It's a bit of a mixture Kev, but mostly Michaels.....if you need to know which 10 tunes I played, then holler my way. Cheers!
