That was the one of those ten that I knew he played a while back.......Rawl Soul Express 'round about 1990 and Lemuria was a new spin in 1993, pretty sure the rest came after.

Ah, apologies then......yes, these would have been from 1992/3 onwards

Here's a ten of his spins I remember, to get the ball rolling; Rawl Soul Express 'The way we live' Lemuria 'Hunk of heaven' Courtial 'Losing you' Willie J 'Boogie with my baby' Ellipsis 'People' Sons of the Kingdom 'Modernization' Heem & the Monsters 'Wake up people' Mellow Madness 'Save the youth' Master Force 'Don't fight the feeling' Record Player 'Free your mind'

Hard to believe that it's been almost a year since the first broadcast of the Divine Chord Gospel Show....and for those of you feeling a tad nostalgic, here's the mixcloud link to the first set of tunes given a spin; https://www.mixcloud.com/gregbelson/divine-chord-gospel-show-pt-1/ Please join us on Thursday 24th May @ 2pm US PST (10pm UK time) for another session of underplayed and freshly discovered gospel soul & funk all played on original vinyl pressings. This month we'll be airing the huge California rarity by Willie Dale 'Let your light shine', as well as giving the first spin (on metal acetate) of the massive funk sound of the High Steppen Crossroads Singers. An hour of killer music that you might not have heard before, so please drop on by and enjoy the ride. https://dublab.com/ Then at 3pm (11pm UK time), we launch into another session of the 45's of Fury, with this months special guest Music Man Miles from Breakestra. This cat runs deep.....his collection of funk inspired tunes has been keeping the LA faithful cuttin' rugs and polishin' dancefloors for over 15 years.....expect to hear 45's that he keeps as his 'game changers'. His boss cuts......be ready for a serious ear bashing ;) And if you can't tune in live, be on the lookout for mixcloud recordings and suchlike a coupla days after!

I'm gonna be guesting for the re-opening on 7th July so would be grand to see you there mate, if you can make it!

Ending today..........thanks!

Cheers mate......appreciate you taking the time!

OK, that's great info.......I'm not interested in tracking them down mate, so no worries there. Just thought they could have been west coast as it seems a few of the copies I've heard of were found there. Cheers!

A few days to go on these........all have soundclips so check 'em out!

Did you find your copy out here, DeeJay?

For set sale; Grading scale = M-, VG++, VG+, VG, VG-, G+, G Lil Bryant 'Ho-ho' / 'Love is such a hurtin' thing' (Deb) Grading by side; 'Ho-Ho' is VG- (I've given this grade due to 8 long scuff marks over the vinyl. Otherwise, the disc has great luster and plays pretty much faultlessly. Almost unbelievably good considering this side doesn't look good. Please check the clip for an unaltered sample...playgrades closer to VG++). 'Love is such....' is VG++. Very tiny lipwarp DNAP. Price = $125.00 + postage from California 'Ho-Ho' has been picking up on playlists recently in Europe, and the flip is a very smart, almost popcorn-esque stroller. Rare disc! Clip; https://www.divshare.com/download/17578660-577 Please PM to reserve. Thanks!

Yeah, can definitely hear that, Russ......the copy I have here was found out west and I've discussed it with friends in the know, and we concluded west coast at the time. But nothing confirmed, not by a long shot.

Sorry mate, I don't.

Great tune, but can anyone confirm where this was recorded. At the moment, I'm thinking it's a west coast disc, somewhere in California.....anybody else have more accurate info? Cheers!

Here's a bunch of 45's just listed on the bay.......get at 'em here, thanks! https://www.ebay.com/...&_sop=12&_rdc=1

Please PM if you can help with a copy of their 'I've got a friend' disc. Thanks alot!

For set sale; Something a little different.......I first found a copy of this 45 six years ago, and it's become a bit of a mini-obsession to find more copies since. There's something about this record that appeals to me. Granted, it won't be for everybody, but I'm happy to finally offer a spare of a pretty unique sounding disc out of Los Angeles, and undoubtedly super rare.

Here's the 11th installment of The Divine Chord Gospel Show which appears monthly on dublab.com https://www.mixcloud....pel-show-pt-11/ We start in Los Angeles, with the superb heavy funk cut by Cassietta George, before heading to Chicago and a seminal cut from the Offe Reese stable. Check out the Mildred Hollins cut currently getting some exposure in Europe as well as the debut airing of a killer tune by the Northland Singers. In the 2nd section, there's a gamut of niceness this month, starting with the awesome production on the Harris Bros and finishing with the Flying Eagles....a great cover version connected with the Champ stable. To close, we head to a southern soul kind of a mix, featuring tunes by Willie Burley & the Fantastic Angels, as well as rarities from coast to coast: check The Triumphs out of Compton, CA and the Sensational Gospel Tones out of Shreveport, LA.
