Title: Black Choral Gospel at it's rawest power
Review: This CD will remind you of an actual service on Sunday morning in a Black church with a strong youth choir. You can almost see the sisters with their elaborate hats and little girls with Shirley-Temple curls when you listen to this one. This was recorded live at the Ephisian Church of God in Christ in Berkely, Ca. in June of 1968 on an old-fashioned Ampex recorder. The record company bought the tape as is and thus this album/CD. Yes, crude technonolgy for the audiophiles, but that gives this a down-home feeling that's part of the charm. If you can listen to "Oh Happy Day", "In My Father's House," I'm Coming Through" etc. and STILL be in a bad mood, then you REALLY have problems! Enjoy!
