Stuff that no one else (on the board) would want

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

I bet we've all got some stuff that NO ONE else in Organissimo would even consider getting. I've got a bunch of full length sermons, some of which I was listening to earlier and I thought (as I posted them in the what are you listening thread) they'd be of absolutely NO interest whatever to anyone reading the thread.

So I thought, well, see what everyone else has got.

Here are my sermons (so far - I'm still collecting them)

REV TED CUVESTON – IT’S CHEAPER TO SEEK HER

REV LEO DANIELS - QUIT TALKIN’ TO YOURSELF

REV LEO DANIELS - IT’S COMIN’ UP AGAIN

REV LEO DANIELS – LOOKIN’ FOR A BARGAIN

REV LEO DANIELS - WHAT IN HELL DO YOU WANT

REV ROY EASLEY – THE WORLD SERIES

REV ROY EASLEY – THE NEW MAN

REV J W EVANS - LIFE BEYOND THE ASHES

REV C L FRANKLIN – THE EAGLE STIRRETH HER NEST

REV C L FRANKLIN – THE WILD MAN MEETS JESUS

REV C L FRANKLIN – THE RICH YOUNG RULER

REV C L FRANKLIN – THE LORD’S PRAYER

REV C L FRANKLIN - SATAN GOES TO A PRAYER MEETING

REV J HERBERT HINKLE - I’M IN DEBT AND I CAN'T PAY

REV ISAAC JENKINS – A FOUNTAIN FILLED WITH BLOOD

REV JOHNNY LEE JONES - I CAME TO PREACH A SERMON

REV JOHNNY LEE JONES - JESUS IS IN TOWN

REV W L JONES – IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN GOOD NOT TO TOUCH

REV W L JONES - LOVE & HAPPINESS

REV J W LUMPKIN - SATAN IS USING HIS SIFTER

REV B W SMITH - DRY BONES IN THE VALLEY

REV B W SMITH – THE HANDS OF GOD

REV JASPER WILLIAMS - CLEAR SHINING AFTER RAIN

REV JASPER WILLIAMS – I’M BLACK & I’M PROUD

REV JASPER WILLIAMS – THE FAITHLESS DISCIPLE

REV JASPER WILLIAMS – I FELL IN LOVE WITH A PROSTITUTE

REV L W WILLIAMS – DOING OUR BEST IN SERVICE TO THE LORD

In addition, I have quite a lot of albums of short sermons from the 78 era.

You'd be surprised. . . I bet Jsngry would be interested in the sermons.

I have Il Divo and Marc Anthony cds that are here for my girlfriend. . . I don't think anyone here would be too interested. . . .

[AllenLowe]

I've got this rash, but I don't think that's what you're talking about.

But aside from that I've got about 20 CDs of crazy COGIC gospel (that's Church of God in Christ for you heathens out there)

it's my favorite thing to listen to, crazy people on the verge of lunacy -

(and no jokes please)

Damn.

But maybe it isn't a joke after all.

[Teasing the Korean]

Probably half of my LP accumulation, which includes tons of exotica, now sound, "easy" listening, crime jazz, spy music, outer space exotica, Euro cult soundtracks, library music, and various other oddball stuff. And that's OK with me - it means there are fewer people to wrestle at the dollar bin.

[JSngry]

I actually have these from your list:

REV C L FRANKLIN – THE EAGLE STIRRETH HER NEST

REV JASPER WILLIAMS - CLEAR SHINING AFTER RAIN

REV JASPER WILLIAMS – I FELL IN LOVE WITH A PROSTITUTE

And several others that you (ahem) don't list... you gotta remember that I live in a part of the world where the target market for these type of recordings is not an abstract concept...It's also not as large (or as living) as it was a decade or so ago, but there was a time in the quite recent past where if you wanted to find these recordings and others like them, it was not at all difficult. For that matter, there's an African-American AM radio station here that still does Sunday morning live remotes from local churches, some of which are not too far removed from what you hear here.

BTW - CLEAR SHINING AFTER RAIN is simply breathtaking in its beauty, power, and use of the phrase "whilst traveling through the paradistical celestial", which sounds like the title of a late Trane piece, as does, ultimately, the whole sermon. From what I've come across, it's the one to have if you're only having one.

You fixed your internet just to tell us this? Welcome back!!

[JSngry]

Now if you wanna get REALLY esoteric, try The Lutheran Hour archives: http://www.lutheranhour.org/history.htm

Last night I checked out this one from 1937 and got more insight into my late father than I could have dreamed possible: http://media.lhm.org/lutheranhour/mp3s/his...ed_1937_wam.mp3

[Dan Gould]

Given how most people seem to crap on him, I doubt there'd be much interest in my Bob Seger CDs (which go from Night Moves to Nine Tonight).

[Peter Johnson]

Hmmm...how about my 'full vertical" of Swing Out Sister releases? Guilty pleasure, for sure!

[BruceH]

Actually, that all sounds good to me.

[JSngry]

Yeah, musically astute "easy listening" is something I'm usually a sucker for too, if only because you hear people making choices that they didn't have to make but made anyway.

[kenny weir]

Bob rocks!

But my interest in him pretty much ended with Night Moves, as good as it is.

Dan, are you familiar with the earlier stuff? Patchy, sure, but some classics, too.

Whatever the merits or otherwise of his later stuff - and I reckon it became tiresome about the time he started hanging out with the Eagles - he's a true blue American rock 'n' roll master whose standing has sadly been forever clouded and besmirched by a gazillion screening of that clip with Tom Cruise in it. Yech!

You're wrong about that. I love the sermons on the "Goodbye Babylon" set and I'd love to hear more!

[Dan Gould]

Kenny,

Yes, I have a couple earlier records, like Live Bullet - "Turn the Page" was an early favorite of mine, and I always wondered (but have never bothered to check), is the live version the only recording of that track? My friends and I always wondered why there is no audience reaction when he introduces it. If we were in the audience we would have been hootin' and hollerin'.

I think that living in Michigan, Joe and Jim came to loathe Seger, but I'll always listen to him ahead of anything by Springsteen, who he used to be compared to - even the Tom Cruise track! (IMHO, Stranger in Town is the album Night Moves almost was.)

Yes, Live Bullet is a goodie - and I remember the non-response to Turn The Page.

Oddly enough, that tune is well known in Oz/NZ as a hit vehicle for a local belter named Jon English, these days a fixture in musical theatre and pantomime, Gilbert & Sullivan and so on!

I recall, too, the comparisons at the time to Stringbean.

The single best early album, IIRC, is Seven

A listener's background and baggage can certainly colour their opinions. I've just groaned through three Oz rock fossils doing their token bit at our football final. John Farnham with bagpipes. Yech. And right now ... that showboating clown Jame Morrison doing When The Saints with disco drums (St Kilda is one of the competeing teams). Tackeeeee!

Same for the Pure Prairie League as Seger. A gazillion hearings of Amie has done for them is the US. But I reckon their first albums are the two most complete and beautiful country rock records ever made - and the only person who agrees with (as far as I know) is a Pom! (Hi Tony!)

The New Testament of the Bible on CD.

[DukeCity]

I'd be interested in checking out some of the CL Franklin sermons! That's Aretha's father, and I've heard that his song-like phrasing from the pulpit was a big influence on Aretha's singing style.

[JSngry]

C.L. is just the tip of the iceberg, trust me...

Our text for today is Marvin Gaye...

"How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You" (1965)- Rev. O.L. Holliday:

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=84....+O.L.+Holliday

Not for the casually curious...about 35-40 minutes long and it builds slowly, but talk about a style...

[JSngry]

Rev. Jasper Williams eulogizes Rev. C. L. Franklin, one master paying tribute to another:

Part 1

Part 2

This is the real deal. Be ready.

Oh, I have tons of that, Allen. I even have an album by COGIC UK!

I have a 45rpm with WW2 British and German aircraft sounds in dogfight somewhere ! :rsmile:

Yes, Rev Jasper is a favourite. "I'm black and I'm proud" also has a breathtaking bit, talking about Simon Stylites - "and a black man carried the troubles of the world on his back"...

If you see any knocking about by Rev W L Jones (on Randy's Spiritual), make sure you pick 'em up. His delivery is nothing short of incredible.

Of course, this stuff is incredibly difficult to find over here. Even Miracle Music in Brixton (a gospel specialist shop in the London ghetto) didn't stock sermons. It's only since Atlanta International reissued a lot of stuff from Jewel and other labels last year that Amazon UK has had any. If I lived in the US, I'd need two houses for records and a lot more money that I have

Given how most people seem to crap on him, I doubt there'd be much interest in my Bob Seger CDs (which go from Night Moves to Nine Tonight).

I picked up Live Bullet just because I couldn't get enough of Katmandu, loved it, but went no further. I later ended up with a copy of Night Moves, but either I'd changed or he did; I didn't like it at all.
