From my Sunday afternoon record store run:

New-LPs.jpg

I didn't do an especially good job of listening to 1980s vocal jazz while compiling my survey (although I did select a few).  So I'm now digging in that sandbox a bit.  Obviously, Roberta Flack and Ramsey Lewis don't fall into that category -- but they were in the dollar bin, so I grabbed 'em.

I got a couple of gospel albums I've already got on LP from Amazon to save the trouble of ripping them.

Touch Me One More Time

Revival Temple Mass Choir - Touch me lord Jesus - Savoy (1986)

 

Prayer And Faith

 

 

Keith Pringle & the Pentacostal Community Choir - Prayer & faith - Savoy (1983)

 

MG

 

Are these favourites? They look interesting. I note they're available to stream, as much of Savoy's gospel is.

Not top rank stuff, but very nice. For top rank choirs on Savoy, you want the Georgia Mass Choir, the Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer Choir, or the Florida Mass Choir. Donald Vails Choraleers and Rev Clay Evans with either the AARC Mass Choir or his own church choir - the Fellowship Choir - are both very, very good indeed. But you can buy gospel choirs on Savoy with the assurance that they'll be good. Also on Malaco.

Not ALL of Savoy's gospel albums are available on streaming. None of Solomon Burke's four gospel albums are on there. Only about half of James Cleveland's are there.

Thanks. I always see gospel records in the second hand shops, and, verily, I do covet them.

A couple of those ‘Jasmine’ reissues of Jimmy Deuchar’s ‘Tempo’ material, and Stan Getz, “Children of the World,” which hasn’t gotten any better over the years.

CDs I've ordered recently:

This is the first of two albums that Adderley's terrific quintet recorded at the Keystone Korner in 1982.  I already have -- and love -- the second album, Blue Autumn

 

And more singers:

Just got the new reissues of Tshona! by Pat Matshikiza and Kippie Moketsi and Shrimp Boats by Lionel Pillay and Basil Coetzee, both second hand and apparently never played.

Someone must have got them for a birthday present or something and taken them straight back to the shops. 

Anyway, a good lunch break.

Or review copies? Nothing better than a Friday lunchtime record shop, especially when it turns up such gems.  You're lucky to have a shop in easy striking distance of work (or home). And now you won't feel the need to queue up tomorrow for RSD :rolleyes:
